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!
