Antiqued Brass Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowl With Wooden Mallet

Classified as a standing bell, a singing bowl is a type of bell that rests on its bottom surface rather than hanging from a handle. The rim and sides vibrate producing sounds characterized by a fundamental frequency, and possibly two harmonic overtones. The tradition of making sounds with brass bowls could date back as much as 3,000 years or more. They are used for meditation, relaxation, music, and personal well-being all over the world. They are also one of the longest-crafted traditional objects still being made today. This singing bowl is highly decorative both inside and out, and produces a lovely sound when struck with the wooden mallet. It measures 4 inches in diameter and 2 1/8 inches high and is crafted from brass. This bell would stand out on any shelf or table, and it makes a wonderful gift.
