Exquisite Tiny B4 Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl with abundant Artwork!


SOLD


Manipuri Singing Bowl. Notes: B4 & Bb4 (Crown Chakra)

Weight 198 grams (0 lb 7 oz).  Size 11.5 x 4 cm (4 ½ x 1 ½ inches)

This tiny 19th century Manipuri Singing Bowl is the smallest in my collection and quite possibly the prettiest with its abundant artwork. 

It has a shallow form with a slightly splayed rim, a wide lip, and a rounded bottom.  There are 2 pairs of circles at its center, each featuring a decorative chain of suns (dots within circles).  More suns encircle its lip, and there are fine parallel lines around the inner rim.

The outer wall features a band of decorative suns and a series of magical or ritual gashes, both set within parallel lines, below which are decorative vertical lines.

The fundamental note is a sweet middle octave B4 (482Hz) when struck with a wooden ringer and Bb4478Hz when played around the rim.  This lovely bowl is very responsive and easy to play.

It is in excellent structural condition, clean, with a bright shiny golden colour.

Miniature singing bowls of all types are very collectable and highly sought-after.  This one is exceptional in all respects! 

Audio clips are not available but a small ringer will be supplied free of charge.
