Fabulous Small & Thick Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl – F5 (712Hz)

Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl.  F5 (712Hz) Heart Chakra)

Weight 1 lb 2¾ oz. (533g).   Size 12 x 5.5 cm (approx. 4¾ x 2¼ inches)

This is a fabulous small antique Thadobati Singing Bowl dating from the 19^th century, possibly earlier.  At just over half a kilo this is a heavy bowl for its size, with thick walls that would have proved difficult to forge.  It has a grooved lip, circles at its centre, and incised bands inset with sun motifs forming a decorative collar below the outer rim.

The fundamental note is a nice fifth octave F (712Hz).  The note is the same whether struck or played around the rim with the wooden ringer supplied.

This little bowl is a very fine example of an older Thadobati.  It is in excellent condition and has bags of character.
