Magnificent Heavy & Large 12” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – C#3 (137Hz)

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.   Note: C#3 (Root Chakra)

Weight 6 lb 7 ¼ oz. (2.94 kilos).   Size 30.5 x 13 cm (12 x 5 inches)

This is a magnificent heavy 12-inch antique Jambati Singing Bowl. It has expertly forged even walls with attractive hammer markings and a strong level triangulated lip.  There are typical decorative bands around the outer rim and circles at the centre.  It has a slightly low profile and a very lovely gently curved body.

The fundamental note is an excellent third octave C# which is 134Hz when the bowl is placed on a cushion, and 137Hz when hand-held.  The notes are the same when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  It has quite a long sustain.

This huge antique Jambati bowl is in excellent structural condition, clean and virtually stain-free, with a particularly lovely exterior, while the interior has some lightly speckled surface copper oxidization on the floor, which is quite commonplace in old bowls and nothing to worry about.

A Tibetan silk brocade cushion, a padded striker, and a suede ringer are all included in the price.
