Antique 12¼ inch Jambati Singing Bowl – Pulsating C#3 & Inscript

Large Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.  C#3 Note (Root Chakra)
Weight 5 lb 5 ½ oz (2.43 Kilos).   31.5 x 14.5 cm (approx. 12 ¼ x 5 ¼ inches)

This is a superb large antique Jambati Singing Bowl with a fabulous, powerful and pulsating third octave C# fundamental with a long sustain. The note is the same whether struck with a padded drumstick/striker or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  This bowl will also produce nice fountains if played with a little water inside.

This bowl benefits from a large and well-defined incised inscription just below the outer rim.

At close to 2 ½ kilos this is a heavy bowl.  It has an attractive full-bodied shape and is well forged with even walls and a wide triangulated inward facing lip.   There is a pair of concentric circles at its centre and there are several incised lines forming a collar below the outer rim.  It is in excellent structural condition and has a nice golden bronze colour.

A fabulous old bowl with a lovely voice!

A Tibetan brocade bowl cushion and a teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
