Superb Rare 19th Century Lingam Singing Bowl – Perfect Pitch E3

This is a nice example of a rare 19th century low-wall Lingam Singing Bowl in its ‘as found’ uncleaned condition with a lovely aged surface patina that would readily wash off to reveal a very rich antique golden bronze colour if required.

It has a sheered lip and a rounded bottom. There is a superb well-defined lingam at its centre, surrounded by 2 sets of circles, with a matching navel or yoni underneath.  Any other decorative features it might originally have possessed have since vanished with the passage of time.

The fundamental note is a perfect pitch E3 (164/5Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a middle octave Bb4 (473Hz) with a wooden ringer.  It is a responsive bowl and is easy to play.

This ancient singing bowl, although well used, is in excellent structural condition.

A rare and lovely old Lingam Singing Bowl!

 A teak and suede ringer is included free of charge.
