Rare and Exceptionally Versatile Antique Thadobati Singing, Talking & Fountain Bowl

Antique Thadobati Singing & Talking Bowl.  Note: F#3 & C5 (Heart & Root Chakras)
Weight 1.01 kilos (2 lb 3 ½ oz).   Size 20 x 10 cm (8 x 4 inches) 

This is a very versatile antique Thadobati Singing Bowl with exceptional talking and fountain abilities when played with a little water inside.  The fundamental note is a very nice third octave F#3 (183Hz) when struck or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a fifth octave C5 (528Hz) with a wooden ringer.

This beautifully proportioned bowl is a perfect example of the Thadobati form with its flat bottom and fairly straight high-sided wall being half the length of its diameter.  It has the pie-lip sometimes found on older bowls, boldly incised circles at its centre, and a pair of decorative lines below the outer rim.

This antique bowl is in superb condition, clean and stain-free, with an attractive aged patina.  A wonderful bowl!

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a double-ended teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
