Description

A MINIATURE BRONZE SHRINE WITH SHIVA-LINGAM AND NAGA, MAHARASHTRA, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

India. The compactly cast shrine represents the theme of Shiva-Lingam worship, with various members of the Shaivite family including Parvati, Ganesha, Krishna, and Nandi huddled around a central Shiva-Lingam, enclosed within low walls set with four loops, supported on four feet, and centered by a towering naga topped with a bud-shaped finial.

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, typed ‘Kobrahaube, Lingam und Yoni, Indien, 18/19 Jh', priced at EUR 1,250.

Such shrines come from the small towns and villages of Maharashtra indicating that these were popular objects of worship in domestic settings. It was customary that these domestic shrines were tended regularly with daily worship and offerings. But rarely are such shrines encountered now.
