Unusual Antique ‘Genie’ Singing Bowl – Inscription with Tree & Peacock

Antique ‘Genie’ Singing Bowl.  G4 (Throat Chakra)

Weight 855 grams (1 lb 14 ¼ oz).  Size 19.5 x 13 cm (7 ¾ x 5 ¼ inches)

This unusual bowl with its rare form has decorative sun motifs around the rim and a large inscription set between a tree and a peacock.

The fundamental note is a nice middle G (396Hz) with a pronounced pulse. 

The unique shape of this old bowl results in a sound quality unlike any other.  I particularly like the way the sound appears to form inside the bowl…and once it gets going it becomes directional and escapes from its open mouth like a genie in a bottle! 

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