Meet, The Starlight Solstice Singing Bowl. 8.25 inch bell metal bronze singing bowl, handmade in Northern India.
A perfect "toning" singing bowl, rich in the inharmonic overtones that will create the hypnotic listening experience in this special kind of instrument. A third octave bowl when invited to play and tapped on it's side. A fourth octave song when played around the rim.

This bowl embodies a North Indian “Neo-Tibetan” aesthetic style, which is a hybrid aesthetic born in the Moradabad and Varanasi brass and bronze craft regions.

The bowl is bronze, and the pattern is not a traditional etched bowl, but oxidized and hand-burnished into relief, a uniquely Indian adaptation of a Nepali visual language.
