Antique Naga Singing Bowls are also termed Pedestal bowls, Chalice bowls, or Stem bowls. The defining feature is the welded base upon which they rest - although in sound healing one can also suspend them from the hand by the base, using them to encircle the head of the listener/client, or for use in concert swinging from side to side, thus applying a sort of 'Doppler effect.' The bowl itself often possesses a very curved base. With the 'stand' there is no necessity for the bowl to have a flat base. However, the 'stand' reaches up the wall of the bell and acts as a dampener upon the sounds. Because of this feature, these bowls will also often produce a tone higher than one might generally expect form a bowl of similar diameter. With their base inhibiting the sound, these bowls tend to sound best when sung. The walls can vary from a natural bell-like curve to the rim towards being sharply angled where they mostly bend up back inwards to the rim. (Frank Perry, "Himalayan Sound Revelations", 2014)
These antique Naga bowls range from 50-70 years in age.
The bowl is struck and then sang with the suede side of the striker, split into 2 separate samples above.
This purchase includes a free striker shown in the picture.
The sound samples and pictures are of the actual product.
This bowl is a part of our Premier Collection based on its wonderful Major Third Harmony between the fundamental tone and the overtone. The beautiful and unique golden patina of this wonderful bowl adds to the beauty of this well constructed antique.
