Antique Naga/Pedestal Singing bowl – Perfect Pitch D4 & Inscription

Antique Naga Singing Bowl. Notes D4 & G#5 (Sacral & Throat Chakras)

Weight 973 grams (2 lb 2 ¼ oz). Size 17 x 12 cm (6 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches)

This is a large nice quality antique Naga or Pedestal Singing Bowl with a perfect pitch middle D (292/3Hz) fundamental when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a nice fifth octave G# with a wooden ringer. It is a very responsive bowl and easy to play.

It is well constructed and has the typical shape of this interesting and now quite rare bowl type, with multiple decorative bands around the outer rim.  It benefits from an excellent dot-punched inscription set between a pair of lotus buds.

It is in excellent structural condition, and basically clean and stain-free.

A double-ended teak and suede ringer is included in the price.
