Antique Jambati Singing Bowl. Note: G#2/G2 & C#5 (Throat & Root Chakras)

Weight 3.41 kilos (6 lb 15 oz).  Size 33.5 x 16.6 cm (13 ¼ x 6 ½ inches)

This superb and majestic antique Jambati Singing bowl dates from the 18th Century and has a huge diameter of 13 ¼ inches, weighs 3.41 kilos, and is one of the largest antique Jambati Singing Bowl in my entire collection.  Antique Jambati bowls approaching anything like this size are extremely rare and sought after for their beautiful low resonant and powerful voices and long sustains.  This huge superior quality bowl was probably commissioned by or for a monastery or temple, where it would have served an important ceremonial purpose.

It has a fabulous low second octave F#2 (95Hz) fundamental that flickers to G2 (94Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a high fifth octave C#5 (569Hz) when played with a wooden ringer.  This is a heavy bowl that is best placed on a cushion for playing, and will be supplied with a large Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion.

This massive bowl has graceful and finely hammered walls that have been superbly crafted.  While the interior is smooth the subtle surface hammer marks to the outer wall reflect the light and are are particularly attractive.  It has a lovely full deep-bodied form (my personal favourite), smooth triangulated lip, decorative bands forming a collar around the outer rim, and circles at the centre.

It is in a fabulous state of preservation, structurally sound, clean and stain-free, with an attractive golden bronze colour.

This massive, ancient, and wonderful Jambati bowl is a unique treasure that would crown any collection!

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, a padded striker, and 2 ringers are all included in the price.
