Manipuri Singing Bowl

Antique Himalayan Singing Bowl.  E Note (Solar Plexus)
Weight 11.5 oz (329g).  14 x 5cm (approx. 5.5 x 2 inches)

A very nice little bowl with some interesting characteristics and a fundamental mid octave note of E.  It is surprisingly loud for its size, with a long sustain, and responsive and easy to play.  Its shallow sides attractively splay out a little towards the rim which has a micro groove along the top, while inside there are decorative or marking lines on the floor and, unusually, high up close to the lip.  An attractive nicely balanced bowl with a rich golden colour.
