A SILVER-MOUNTED KAPALA WITH CORAL AND TURQUOISE CABOCHONS, TIBET, 18TH-19th CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

The smoothly polished skull cup is fitted with a silver lining to the interior, the exterior applied with four semi-circular panels fitted with three cabochons of coral and turquoise. The scull bone preserves the bregma and sagittal sutures and shows a fine, natural patina overall. Raised on a tiered, triangular, reticulated, gilt copper repousse stand decorated with flaming swirls, above a band of foliate blossoms atop a wave band, the corners decorated with three heads, including one of a citipati.

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.

A kapala (Sanskrit for "skull") is a skull cup used as a ritual implement in both Hindu and Buddhist Tantra. Especially in Tibet, they are often elaborately mounted with precious metals and jewels. 'Scented' skull cups are seen in the hands of many wrathful deities. During tantric meditations these skull cups are filled with an alcoholic ritual substance visualized by monks as containing five corpses and five bodily excretions. Meditation transforms this into ambrosia, parallel to the transformation of the five delusions into the five wisdoms, and the five poisons into the five Tathagathas.
