Description

A PHALLIC STONE LINGAM, HIMALAYAN REGIONS, 19TH CENTURY OR EARLIER
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

The limestone is naturalistically and subtly carved, cleverly using the pale gray veins of the stone to evoke those of the phallus, while the dark surface is smoothly polished.

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.
Labels: Galerie Hardt, inscribed ‘Lingam Stein Tibet’, the back ‘1690-04, H:17 B: 6 T: 7’, and priced at EUR 1,750.
Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, minor signs of weathering, natural fissures, minute surface nicks.

Weight: 1,095 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 17 cm (incl. stand) and 15 cm (excl. stand)

Mounted on an associated metal stand. (2)

The lingam, deemed the purest embodiment of Shiva, serves as the primary emblem of worship for this Hindu deity and its aniconic form represents a phallus or a pillar of light. Self-manifested or svayambhu lingas are spawned in the bed of the sacred Narmada River in Western India. Occurring through natural rock formations and erosions, ovoid boulders such as the present lot are considered remarkably propitious.
