Small Antique Manipuri Singing Bowl with Suns – G5

This small 19th century Manipuri Singing Bowl has very fine walls and is unusually light.  It features a ring of decorative suns (punched dots within circles) at its centre and all around its lip.

The fundamental note is fifth octave G5 (791Hz) when struck or played around the rim with a wooden ringer.  Other harmonics are also present.    It is a responsive bowl and easy to play.

It is well worn but in good structural condition, clean, stain-free, with a bright shiny golden colour.

A small complementary ringer is included.
