Stunning Superior Quality Rare 9” Golden Antique Lingam Singing Bowl – F#3 & C5

This is a rare and exquisite example of a superior quality antique golden Lingam Singing Bowl.   It is beautifully proportioned and has smooth gracefully curved walls and a plain sheered lip.  There is a pointed Lingam at its centre with a deep matching yoni or navel underneath.  There are no decorative features but it has a fantastic presence and an honest simplicity of form, and its incredibly smooth walls are a sensual delight.

This beautiful antique singing bowl has a lovely third octave F#3 fundamental (187Hz) that is quite close to perfect pitch when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a fifth octave C5 (536Hz) harmonic when played with a wooden ringer.

It is structurally sound, clean and stain-free (the occasional darker marks or smudges are thought to result from inconsistencies in the molten mix). It has a particularly lovely bright golden bronze colour inside and out.

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

Footnote:  This is only the third time I have come across this type of superior golden lingam in 40 years of collecting.  I believe they all originate from the same family forge, in India or Nepal, before finding their way to a Himalayan antiques dealer.  I acquired several similar golden bowls with this one, some of which may still be available on this website.
