Description

A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, LAOS, CHIEN SENG STYLE, 16TH-17TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Finely cast, seated in ardhapadmasana on a stepped base of triangular section decorated with scrolling motifs, with both hands elegantly lowered in dhyana mudra, and boldly dressed in a samghati. His serene face with a meditative expression marked by heavy-lidded downcast eyes set beneath prominent arched brows, and full lips curved into a gentle smile, flanked by elongated earlobes. The hair arranged in tight curls over the ushnishna and topped by the ketumala.

Provenance: The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Overall good condition with old wear, casting irregularities, signs of weathering, minor losses, old repairs and fills, scattered light nicks and small surface scratches, remnants of gilt and pigment, the bronze with a fine, naturally grown, dark patina.
