Rare Bell-Shaped Tibetan Singing Bowl – Bb3 Note

Antique Bell-Shaped Tibetan Singing Bowl.  B Note (Crown Chakra)
Weight 3 lb 3 ½ oz (1.46 Kilos).   20.5 x 10cm (approx. 8 x 4 inches)

This is a large bell-shaped Thadobati Singing Bowl of a type rarely seen these days (circa 18^th Century) with very thick slightly splayed walls and a sloping lip.  At nearly 1 ½ kilos it is unusually heavy and has a simplicity of form and a certain gravitas that is usually only found in older bowls.  It has the patina, colour, and the look and feel of antiquity.

The fundamental note is a low third octave B flat that is particularly beautiful when played around the rim with a suede ringer.
