Rare Medium-Sized Superior Quality 19th Century Lingam Singing Bowl – F#4 & C6

This is a fabulous medium-sized superior quality antique Lingam Singing Bowl with a middle octave F#4 (362Hz) fundamental when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a high sixth octave C6 (1019Hz) harmonic with a wooden ringer.

This rare 19^th Century bowl takes the Thadobati form and is very nicely proportioned.  It has a flat bottom, a deep and fairly straight wall, and a grooved lip.  The Lingam at its centre is surrounded and defined by two sets of circles, and there is a matching navel or yoni underneath.  Two decorative bands of tiny dots encircle the outer rim.

It is in excellent structural condition, clean and stain-free.

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a double ended teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
