Exquisite Small Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl with Suns and Flower of Life
Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl. Note: P.P. C4 (Root Chakra)
Weight: 296 grams (0 lb 10 oz). Size: 14 x 4.5 cm (5 ½ x 2 ¾ inches)
This delightful small 19th century Manipuri Singing Bowl is in superb condition and features decorative suns (punched dots within circles) all around its lip and inside, where they neatly fit between concentric circles. Unusually, the circle at its very centre features the sacred geometric ‘Flower of Life’ symbol.
The fundamental note is a perfect pitch middle octave C4 (259Hz – 261Hz) when struck or played around the rim with a wooden ringer.
It is in excellent structural condition, clean, with a bright shiny golden colour.
Miniature and small singing bowls of all types are very collectable and highly sought-after. This one is exceptional in all respects!
A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a ringer are included in the price.
