Featured Help me gather more information on this TIBETAN SINGING BOWL

I came across this today in my travels , I do t know how to get the age on this or how to gather anything really on it . I know it’s a Tibetan singing bowl. Any additional information if possible would be helpful, thank you

 

it needs a striker..

 

Unfortunately where I found it the striker was not with it. Is there any way to know the age of the bowl?

I don't think it's that old. I have seen similar ones here and there, recently produced and for not too much money. Perhaps made in India or China.

The funnest one I've found personally, again very similar to this one, was at Goodwill with the cookware. Pots, pans, this metal bowl... Definitively not cookware!

 

It was made in Nepal, where singing bowls are also used. These bowls are still being made, and as @Potteryplease said, yours doesn't look old.

On the bottom are the eyes of Buddha, on the inside a lotus for spiritual purity with mantras in Sanskrit, and around the edge are Sanskrit mantras and Chinese Shou symbols for longevity. Those Shou symbols are also used in the Himalayas.

 

Thank you for the link to "A very well mind". There is a lot on this site to educate and enjoy.

 

When I went to Nepal, the tourist shops were full of these. I watched people buy them knowing it would end up in a thrift shop someday with as little use as this one. They actually make a great sound depending on the size and materials. Like all beautiful things of art and spirituality, they have to have a purpose in life, though.

 

It’s funny I found this one mixed in with serving trays and vases and potted plants lol

 

You need to get a puja to hear it. You may find a place for it in your life. My yoga instructor plays her during our breathing and meditation activities.
