Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl.   Note: Bb5 (crown Chakra)

Weight 0 lb 7 ½ oz (216 grams).   Size 13 x 4.5 cm (5 x 1 ¾ inches)

 

This is a superb tiny example of the Manipuri Singing Bowl form, with all the decorative feature one could wish for.  The fundamental note is a fifth octave Bb (926Hz) when struck or played around the rim.

 

 

There are circles at its centre including a ring of suns (dots within circles), a chain of suns around the lip, and another band of suns set within incised parallel lines encircling the outer wall below the rim.  Above these, at intervals, are a series of ritual gashes. 

 

 

This lovely little bowl, whilst showing signs of long use, is in excellent structural condition and has a shiny bright golden bronze colour.

 

A Tibetan silk brocade cushion and 2 small ringers are included in the price.
