A beautifully symmetrical antique singing bowl made in a certain elegant style that can be found across several sizes. This maker produced a unique shape with engravings further down the side of the bowl than usual. If you see this feature, it may be the same maker. This type of bowl seem to have all been produced around the same time, so it may indeed have been one single maker. They are characterized by a slightly heavy bottom, excellent golden color, clear bell like tone and nicely balanced harmonics. Over the years, I've often described this type as elegant. This example has a very long ringing, 2 minute bell tone with a wonderful deep fundamental and prominent yet balanced harmonics. There are fine cracks visible on the bottom which do not affect the sound at all. They will not get worse as long as the bowl is not dropped or hit hard against a surface. Price is greatly reduced due to the damage.

Tune In to the 1,000-Year-Old Metalworking Tradition

The first singing bowls were made around the 11th century, during one of the high periods of Buddhism in Nepal. The best examples coincide with high periods of culture, which is part of how I determine their age. The singing bowls are related to bowls from ancient Persia and Khorosan. Later forms are also related to similar bowls from Southeast Asia. Singing bowls spread through Asia over the last few hundred years. Antique singing bowls were crafted with an ancient process called annealing, where a bronze disc is repeatedly heated, cooled and hammered until the desired form is acheived. The ability for bronze to be reworked repeatedly allowed the artisans to craft these truly stunning forms. The durability of this fine bronze material has allowed them to endure for so long. Kept in good condition, they will last for another thousand years.
