Tibetan Lingam Singing Bowl.  F note (Heart Chakra)
Weight 1 lb 3 oz (540g).   13 ½ x 5 ¾ cm (approx. 5 ¼ x 2 ¼ inches)

This is a sturdy little Lingam bowl in excellent condition.  It is quite heavy for its size with strong thick walls and a wide and slightly triangulated lip.  It has a pronounced Lingam at its centre surrounded by three groups of decorative concentric circles, matched by a nicely formed navel on the underside.

It has a particularly bright and sonorous singing voice…a fundamental fifth octave F when struck with a mallet or played around the rim with a ringer.

This lovely little bowl has a very pleasant feel to it.  It is nicely proportioned, extremely well made and well preserved despite its considerable age.
