Unusual Singing Bowl – B4 (482Hz) – Distinctive Sound, Sun Motif

Antique Singing & Healing Bowl.  B4 (Crown Chakra)
Weight 1 lb 0 oz (453g).   15 x 9 cm (approx. 6 x 3 ½ inches)

This antique singing bowls has a rare globular form and a very distinctive sound; no doubt due to its unusual shape. The fundamental note is a mid octave B (482Hz) whether struck or played around the rim.

This is clearly a very old bowl.  Its decorative features include a grooved lip and several incised lines forming a collar below the rim.  A chain of sun motifs (punched dots within circles) is set between a pair of the lines encircling the bowl.  And below this there are a series of bunting-like downward-facing triangles, also composed of suns.  This pattern of sun-motif triangles is quite faint in places, having been worn down with the passage of time, but it is still evident on close inspection. There are also suggestions of an inscription.

This unusual old bowl has bags of character and the look and feel of antiquity.  It is in excellent structural condition, with some copper oxidization inside, and the patina of age and usage outside.

A double-ended teak and suede ringer is included in the price.
