Large Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl – Superb G#4 Voice & Rare Inscription

Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl.   G#4 (420Hz) Throat Eye Chakra

Weight 965 grams. (2 lb 2 oz).   Size 21 x 7.5 cm (8 ¼ x 3 inches)

This is a large antique Manipuri Singing Bowl with a D3 struck note (146Hz) and lovely middle (4th) octave G# fundamental (420Hz) when played with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a fifth octave G (806Hz) if a wooden ringer is employed. 

This is a nice quality old bowl with typical decorative banding around the outer rim and circles at the centre.  It also benefits from an engraved inscription, which is something of a rarity on a Manipuri bowl, and a fair indication that it was held in high esteem by a previous keeper.

It is in excellent and clean structural condition and has an attractive golden bronze colour. 

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