Indian Singing Bowl

A deep, round-bottomed bowl with a thin rim and a gold-brown glow.

This singing bowl is from Bengal, Odisha, India, and dates to the 20th century. It is alloy folded metal. The thickness and size of the walls, along with the shape of the bowl, generally set the pitch and how long the sound rings. A rounded bowl with a gently curved body and a plain, slightly out-turned rim. The surface is warm golden brown, mottled with darker flecks near the lip and a bright polish inside. There is no decoration or foot. It is 3.5 inches high and 7.75 in diameter.

Plain, round, and altogether satisfied with that.
