Antique Lingam Singing Bowl.   G#3 (207/8Hz) Throat Chakra

Weight 3 lb 1 ½ oz. (1.4 kilos).   Size 22.5 x 9.5 cm (8 ¾ x 3 ¾ inches)

This superlative rare golden Antique Lingam Singing Bowl is one of the last of its kind, and I doubt you will ever see another like it outside of this website and my personal collection.  It is one of a number of similar wonderful bowls that I acquired from the private collection of a Tibetan antique bowl dealer in Nepal, and I have only come across one other in over 30 years of collecting bowls at source.   They almost certainly come from the same forge and master bowl-maker.

This bowl is believed to date from the 18th century is exceptional both physically and musically.  It has a gloriously pure and pulsating third octave G# voice (207/8Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. 

It has been beautifully forged.  It has a gracefully curved form, a grooved lip, a pair of decorative bands encircling the outer rim, a huge mounded central Lingam surrounded by boldly incised circles, and an attractive deep navel underneath.

This bowl has wonderfully silky-smooth walls and the most beautiful antique golden bronze colour.  It is in excellent structural condition and free of stains and blemishes.  It comes with a Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, a striker and a ringer.

A rare and beautiful antique Lingam singing bowl!
