Description

A SANDSTONE RELIEF DEPICTING SURYA AND CHANDRA FROM THE NAVAGRAHA, ANGKOR PERIOD, 11TH-12TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Khmer Empire. Finely carved under a foliate niche to depict Surya on a chariot drawn by two horses and Chandra sitting atop a tiered waisted plinth. Each deity is seated cross-legged with one hand clasped around a lotus bud, dressed in a short pleated sampot, all raised atop a lappet lotus band.

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, obvious losses, old repairs, signs of weathering and erosion, scattered nicks and scratches, and encrustations.

Weight: 83.5 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Size 60 x 73 cm (excl. stand), 76 x 77 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on an associated metal stand. (2)

Expert’s note:
The present lot is most likely a fragment of a relief depicting the nine planetary deities known as Navagraha. Compare a closely related relief of the nine planets dating from the 11th century, in Ak Yom, a smaller site excavated from Angkor’s Western Baray, illustrated by Ang Chouleun, Navagraha, Udaya: Journal of Khmer Studies, no. 14, 2019, p. 141, fig. 2.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related stone relief depicting the nine deities, Angkor period, dated 1000-1100, 139.7 cm wide, in the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, object number B71S9.
