Glorious 11“ Engraved Antique Jambati Singing Bowl from Bangladesh – Floral Motif

This fabulous 11-inch Antique Jambati Singing Bowl comes from Bangladesh and is a true work of art.  Virtually the entire outer surface has been exquisitely hand-carved with a beautiful geometric floral motif based on a traditional carpet design.  I believe the carving of this bowl dates from the 19th century and it probably took the highly skilled artisan several months to complete the work.

The fundamental struck note is a fabulous low third octave C#3 (142Hz) with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.

This large antique Jambati Singing Bowl has been superbly forged and is structurally sound and in excellent condition.  There are decorative circles at its centre.  It has a very attractive dark antique bronze colour with golden highlights on the raised surfaces.

Carved Bangladeshi bowls are extremely rare and difficult to source, and always command a high price when available.  I managed to secure a few superb examples that will sell within days, so be quick if you are tempted.

A fabulous superior quality carved antique bowl with a wonderful low C#3 voice!

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a ringer are included in the price.
