Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl. Notes: Bb5 & A6 (Crown & Third Eye Chakras)
Weight: 296 grams (0 lb 10 oz). Size: 13 x 4 cm (5 ½ x 1 ½ inches)
This small 19th century Manipuri Singing Bowl with its well defined artwork is very pretty. It features several circles including a ring of decorative suns (punched dots within circles) at its centre and all around its lip. There is also a pair of decorative lines just below the inner rim.
The fundamental note is fifth octave Bb5 (939Hz) when struck or played around the rim with a wooden ringer. Other harmonics are also present including a high sixth octave A6 (1780Hz). It is a responsive bowl and easy to play.
There are slight signs of wear underneath but it is in good structural condition, clean, stain-free, with a bright shiny golden colour.
A small complementary ringer is included.
Note: Audio clips coming soon.
