Superior Rare Antique Lingam Singing Bowl – Perfect Pitch Bb3

This is a superb example of a medium-size 19th century Lingam Singing Bowl.  It has a gently curved wall of even thickness and a sheered lip.  There is a decorative dot-filled band encircling the outer rim and another pair of bands about a third of the way down the wall, below which are a series of ritual gashes rarely seen on Lingam bowls.

There is a nice Lingam surrounded by two sets of circles at its centre, and a matching navel or yoni underneath.

The fundamental note is a third octave Bb3 (234Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a fifth octave E5 (670Hz) with a wooden ringer.

This interesting antique Lingam singing bowl is in excellent structural condition, clean and stain-free, with a golden bronze colour.

A ringer is included in the price.
