A REPOUSSé SILVER AND GILT-COPPER INLAID ‘BAJIXIANG’ GAU, TIBET, 18TH – 19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Finely chased and embossed, the shrine of lobed outline with a similarly shaped central window in gilt, surrounded by the Eight Buddhist Emblems applied in gilt and borne on neatly incised scrolling vines with flowering blossoms. The short sides are finely incised with scrolling foliage against a ring-punched ground and fitted with two rectangular cord loops on each side for suspension. The back of copper. With a quilted silk cover.

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, inscribed and typed ‘Gau Silber mit Tibetischen Glückssymbolen', and priced at EUR 2,250.
Condition: Good condition with wear, traces of use, manufacturing irregularities, small dents, minor warping, few minute nicks, minor tarnish. The applied gilt-copper elements slightly loose. The copper back with obvious repairs. The silk cover with extensive wear.

Weight: 532.7 g
Dimensions: Height 15.5 cm

The sacred contents of the reliquary comprise bundles of painted fabric. (3)

Gau are sacred receptacles serving many purposes in Tibetan daily life, including as a sign of social status and rank. They are most commonly constructed from metal repoussé and made according to three different sizes. The small and medium sized gaus are portable, while the largest of gaus were often placed within a home or temple. All hold sacred and auspicious objects including tsa-tsa which can often be seen through a viewing window. Their purpose, as stated by Rhie and Thurman, “...served as a site where the wisdom emanation of that enlightened being could be invoked and communicated with.” (A Shrine for Tibet, New York, 2009, p. 255)

Charm containers are some of the most important personal adornments in Tibet. This container for small images, printed prayers and charms, molded tablets of protective deities, and other relics has traditionally been worn by both men and women to ward off evil. While women wear their gau on a short necklace around their necks, strung with turquoise, coral, or banded agates, a man’s gau is usually larger and often shaped like a shrine. A traveler straps the gau to the arm or wears it across the chest bandolier style.
