Naga Singing Bowl with Exceptional Musicality

Antique Naga Singing & Healing Bowl. B & D Notes (Crown & Sacral Chakras)

Weight 2 lb 2 oz (963g).   18 ½ x 16 ½ (rim) x 12 cm (approx. 7 ¼ x 4 ¾ inches)

This antique Naga or pedestal bowl is distinguished by its exceptional musicality.  It has one of the most fantastic voices we have come across in a Naga bowl.  When struck with a padded mallet it sings a beautiful low 2^nd or 3^rd octave B note, usually the latter but sometimes switching from one to the other.  The rim note is equally special…building from a low second octave B flat to a truly astonishing and high 5^th octave D with a simply massive sustain!  This truly exceptional bowl is also extremely responsive and easy to play.

Weighing 963 grams this is a heavy Naga bowl.  It is in good condition, and has a lovely shape, a strong pedestal, and some finely engraved decorative banding just below the rim.   It also benefits from an excellent and long punched-dot inscription with a large fish at the beginning and end.  Very nice!
