Rare Small Antique Lingam Singing Bowl – G4

Small Antique Lingam Singing Bowls are incredibly rare and highly sought after by collectors, healers and practitioners.  With a diameter of just 5 inches (13 cm) and weighing just 11 ounces this is one of my smallest bowls, and will likely be snapped up quickly by a collector.  Its relatively high price reflects its rarity, age, and quality.

This beautifully crafted 19th Century Singing Bowl has gently curved walls, a sheered lip, and a rounded bottom.  Any decorative features it might once have had on its external wall have been worn away with the passage of time, and its wall is now silky smooth.  The Lingam at its centre is surrounded and defined by two sets of circles and there is a neat naval or yoni underneath.

This small Lingam bowl is very responsive and easy to play.  The fundamental note is a near perfect pitch middle octave G4 (390Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede or wooden ringer.  This small antique bowl comfortably fits in the palm of the hand for playing, and despite its exceptionally light weight, doesn’t spin when playing.  

There are some signs of surface wear underneath but it is structurally sound, clean and free of stains, with a nice golden bronze colour. 

A very rare, attractive, and desirable small Antique Lingam Singing Bowl!

A ringer is included in the price.
