Unusual Antique Thadobati Singing Bowl.  E Note (Solar Plexus Chakra)
Weight 1 lb 9 ½ oz (723g).   17 x 9 cm (approx. 6 ¾ x 3 ½ inches)

This antique singing bowl has an interesting and unusual form with its pronounced out-turned and flat grooved lip, low profile and bulbous belly.  There are several decorative circles on the inside floor, and a pair of incised lines around the middle of the belly.  It has a nice golden colour, and is virtually blemish-free and in good condition.  There is a small dot-punched inscription just below the rim.

The shape of this bowl makes it slightly self-amplifying and the fundamental note is a nice mid octave E.  The note is the same whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a ringer.

A double-ended teak and suede ringer is included in the price.

Listen: (1 struck and 1 played note)
