Description

A BRONZE FIGURE OF NANDI CANOPIED BY A NAGA, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

India. Cast in two sections, the holy white bull seated in a recumbent pose with three legs tucked in atop a tiered rectangular base, a small yoni-lingam before him. A yoke-like collar encircles Nandi’s neck, and a neatly incised saddle blanket covers his back, the animal well detailed with small round eyes, a long muzzle, two conical horns, and pricked ears. All beneath the protective presence of a naga, its tall arching cobra hood elegantly shaped and decorated with a finely incised border and central spine, topped by a jewel 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.
Condition:Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Miniature nicks, tiny dents, rubbing, and light scratches. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina and areas of malachite encrustations to the underside.
