Interesting & Characterful Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl – A3

Antique Singing Bowl.   Note: A3 (Third Eye Chakra)

Weight 1 lb 11 ¼ oz. (769 grams).   Size 18.5 x 9.5 cm (7 ¼ x 3 ¾ inches)

This characterful old Thadobati Singing Bowl probably dates from the mid 18^thcentury.  It has many of its original decorative features intact including a decorative band of suns (punched dots surrounded by circles) encircling the outer rim. 

The fundamental note is an uncommon third octave A (220-224Hz) that borders on concert pitch when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim. It also has some talking ability when played and rocked back and forth with a little water inside.

This is an interesting and characterful old bowl with the look and feel of antiquity, and in very nice condition for its age.

A Tibetan silk brocade cushion and a double-ended teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
