Rare Inscribed Antique Shaman Divination Bowl – E4 (335Hz)

This is a rare antique bronze Shaman Bowl employed in divination rituals; a sacred object that will have accompanied the shaman throughout their lifetime.  This particular divination bowl benefits from a dot-punched inscription, now faint, on the outer rim, and is a fair indication of the high esteem in which this bowl was held.  Primarily used for divination the struck and played note is a middle E (335Hz).

This shallow flat-bottomed bowl has a sheered lip the edge of which has been decorated with a chain of tiny suns (dots within circles) sometimes found on 18^thand 19^thcentury Thadobati and Manipuri singing bowls.  There are also circles at its centre.

It is in good structural condition, and has the look and feel of antiquity and purpose.

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