Fabulous Large Superior Quality 19th Century Remuna Singing & Talking Bowl


SOLD


Antique Remunai Singing Bowl. Notes: G3 & C#5 (Throat & Root Chakras)

Weight: 914 grams (2 lb 0 oz).  Size: 19 x 10 cm ( 7 ½ x 4 inches)

This is a rare large early 19th Century Remuna Singing and Talking Bowl.   It has two beautiful voices…a third octave G3 (192Hz) fundamental when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a fifth octave C#5 (562Hz) with a wooden ringer.  Remuna bowls are renowned for their beautiful voices and ease of play, and this bowl is no exception.

It also has a wonderful talking voice if struck or played and rocked back and forth with a little water inside.  Very few bowls have this special ability which enables shaman to enter a trance state and connect with the spirit world and ancestors.

This superior quality antique bowl has the particularly lovely Remuna shape with its gently curved wall, grooved lip, and flat bottom.  It has considerable aesthetic appeal.

It is very old and has been handled and washed countless times, to the point where its exterior wall has been worn down smooth and most of its external decorations worn away, including the decorative circles at its centre and the lines around the belly.

It is structurally sound, exceptionally clean and stain-free, with an attractive aged patina and the look and feel of great antiquity.  Note: An old barely-visible 1 cm hairline split in the floor is completely stable and has no impact on the sound quality.  It is of no consequence and is mentioned purely for descriptive completeness.

A wonderful large example of a rare Remuna Talking Bowl, and a persona favorite!

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