Description

A LARGE GILT AND POLYCHROME WOOD SHRINE, 19TH CENTURY

Nepal. Finely carved in the form of a temple with a three-tiered roof topped by a lotus-bud finial, the front with richly detailed columns carved with beast-masks above rows of petals. The roofs supported with corbels in the form of bodhisattvas and beasts above red panels decorated with gilt scrolling vines and inscribed in Siddham script to the lower front panel with the mani mantra and to the upper front panel with a single character. The reverse with two loops for mounting.

Inscriptions: To the upper panel, ‘Hri’. To the lower panel, ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’.

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: Good condition with minor wear, small repairs to the wood pieces with remnants of adhesive, few nicks, scratches, and natural age cracks.

Weight: 13.3 kg
Dimensions: Height 94.2 cm

The architectural form of the shrine’s roof and its carved corbels are modeled after the iconic rooftops on temples in Basantapur, Kathmandu, Nepal. The structure of the outer complex consists of a number of 16th century temples built during the reign of the Malla kings. These buildings are adorned with meticulously carved facades characteristic of Newar architecture.
