Antique Lingam Singing Bowl – Concert Pitch & Characterful
Antique Tibetan Lingam Singing Bowl. G note (Throat Chakra)
Weight 2 lb 9 oz (1.16 kilos). 21 x 7.5 cm (approx. 8 ¼ x 3 inches)
This is a large and characterful Lingam bowl with an exceptionally nice virtually concert pitch fundamental note, a strong G sharp. The struck note is very sweet and it’s an easy bowl to play around the rim. The note is the same G sharp whether struck or played with a ringer.
This bowl is in good condition for its age and has a strong physical presense. It has an excellent pronounced inward-facing and boldly ribbed rim, and a nice pointed lingam that is defined and surrounded by engraved circles. The exterior walls are smooth at the rim and attractively hammer-marked lower down and underneath. The bottom is flat, with no navel.
An older Lingam bowl, probably 19th century, with bags of character and the look and feel of age!
