Rare Antique High-Wall Lingam Singing Bowl – Close Concert Pitch Eb4 (310Hz)

Antique Lingam Singing Bowl.  Eb4 (310Hz) Solar Plexus Chakra

Weight 1.02 kilos (2 lb 4 oz).   19 x 9.5 cm (7 ½ x 3 ¾ inches)

This high-wall 19th century Lingam singing bowl has an excellent middle octave Eb voice (310Hz) that is close to concert pitch.  The note is the same whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a ringer.

It has been skillfully forged.  It has a flat level lip, walls of an even thickness, a gently raised pointed lingam, and a nice navel underneath. There are two bands of decorative dots just below the outer rim and a pair of incised lines encircling the middle of the bowl. 

This lovely old Lingam is structurally sound and clean for its age.  It also has an attractive golden bronze colour.  

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

A very nice example of this Lingam bowl form!
