Rare Medium-Size Antique Lingam Singing Bowl – Eb4 (313-317Hz)

Antique Lingam Singing Bowl.   Eb4 (Solar Plexus Chakra)
Weight 1 lb 7 ¾ oz. (675g).   17.5 x 8 cm (approx. 6 ¾ x 3 ¼ inches)

This is a nice quality medium-size antique Lingam Singing Bowl (circa 1800) with a sweet forth octave Eb fundamental voice when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a ringer.

This bowl has great aesthetic appeal with its nice proportions and a pretty shape.  It has a beautiful golden colour and is in excellent and clean condition inside and out.

It has even walls, a level grooved lip, a neat nipple-like lingam at its centre surrounded by a pair of concentric circles, and an attractive navel underneath.   The outer rim has been decorated with two bands of tiny gashes and triangular cuts of a type more often found in old Thadobati bowls of the same period.

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