Colored Brass Tibetan Meditation Singing Bowl With Wooden Mallet

Singing bowls are types of bells that are classified as standing bells. Rather than hang from a handle, the singing bowl rests on its bottom surface. The rim and sides vibrate producing sounds characterized by a fundamental frequency, and possibly two harmonic overtones. The tradition of making sound with brass bowls could date back 3,000 years or more. They are used for meditation, relaxation, music, and personal well-being. 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 included wooden mallet. It measures 4 inches in diameter and 2 1/8 inches high, and crafted from brass. This bell would stand out on any shelf or table, and makes a wonderful gift.
