Naga Singing Bowl – Harmonic Complexity & Inscription

Antique Naga Singing Bowl. B & D/E Notes (Crown & Solar Plexus Chakras)

Weight 1 lb 10 ¾ oz (761g).   15 ½ x 11 ½ (rim) x 12 cm (approx. 6 ¼ x 4 ½ inches)

This antique Naga bowl is distinguished by its harmonic complexity, and the beauty of its fundamental note, a lovely low third octave B flat.  The note is the same whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer…but there are always other subtle harmonics present to add a little extra something.  And if a hard wooden ringer is played around the rim the bowl will sing a sonorous fifth octave E.

This is a beautiful bowl with a stunning voice, and in excellent condition.  It has the benefit of a fine dot-punched inscription sandwiched between a lotus and, unusually, an elephant!
