Antique Singing & Healing Bowls

Lingam Singing and Healing Bowls 

Lingam Singing Bowls are without doubt the rarest of all Himalayan singing bowls.  They are also among the oldest, with some dating back to at least the 16^th century.  They were made for ritual and ceremonial use, and have an amazing purity of sound.   Named after the male principle, they are easily identified by a conical protrusion, the lingam, in the centre of the basin.  This is usually matched by a navel-like impression on the flat underside when the bowl is turned over.  Bowls come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but frequently have a low and shallow profile.  The smallest antique lingam bowl in our collection (not for sale) stands just over 1½ inches high (4 cm) and has a diameter of 4 ½ inches (11 ½ cm), while a large lingam bowl might measure 10 inches (25cm) or more across and weigh as much as 4 ½ pounds (2 kilos).
