This medium size antique Himalayan Ultabati Singing Bowl has an interesting and rather haunting third octave C# fundamental (140Hz). The note is the same whether struck or played around the rim.
Ultabati bowls have a very distinctive caldron-like form with fine walls, a scooped or flared neck and an out-turned downward-sloping lip. This one is particularly unusual because there are ritual gashes all around the outer rim…something I have not previously encountered on an Ultabati bowl. It also has a pair of decorative lines encircling the inner rim.
This is a very attractive bowl to look at…nicely proportioned and well made, with lots of surface interest and a nice matt antique bronze colour. Unforunately it has a small triangular dig in the wall that I didn’t notice, so I have substantially reduced the price. It is otherwise in good condition, with a little copper oxidization on the inside floor, and clean inside and out. It has a nice matt bronze colour with attractive hammer markings.
A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, a striker, and a ringer are included in the price.
