Large Superior Quality Antique Chalice/Stem Singing Bowl – Eb4 & A5
Antique Chalice/Stem Singing Bowl. Notes: Eb4 & A5 (Solar Plexus & Third Eye Chakras)
Weight 1.08 kilo (2 lb 6 oz). Size 17.5 x 12 cm (6 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches)
This is a large antique Chalice or Stem Singing Bowl with an excellent perfect pitch middle octave Eb4 (312Hz) fundamental when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim gradually develops into a fifth octave A5 (887Hz) if desired; the same note that is produced with a wooden ringer. It is also slightly self-amplifying.
It has the typical shape of this interesting and now quite rare bowl type, with its bulbous belly set on a pedestal ring, and multiple decorative bands around the outer rim.
Below the decorative bands on the outer wall there is a fine dot-punched inscription spread across two lines, with a large fish motif at either end.
This superior quality bowl is in excellent structural condition, and has a bright golden bronze colour.
A lfabulous example of this bowl type!
A ringer is included in the price.
