Description

A BRONZE FIGURE OF PARVATI, NAYAK PERIOD
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

South India, 17th-18th century. Finely cast standing in tribhanga atop a circular incised lotus dais raised on a stepped square plinth similarly decorated with lotus petals and geometric designs, flanked by two vertical struts.

The goddess wears a richly pleated and bejeweled dhoti, her body sumptuously adorned with sacred thread and fine beaded jewelry framing her voluptuous breasts, the right hand is in kataka mudra and the left extended in loa hasta.

The face modeled with almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, elongated earlobes and full lips forming a calm smile, the forehead centered by a third eye, the hair fashioned into an elaborate high conical chignon secured by a foliate tiara and topped by a lotiform jewel.

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:Good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Light scratches, scuffs, minor nicks, small dents, fine fissures. The bronze with a fine, naturally-grown, smooth patina, and areas of verdigris.
