Singing bowl Nepal (d - 24.7, h - 10.5 cm)

A Tibetan singing bowl from Nepal is a solid and expressive instrument for working with sound. Its height is 10.5 cm, its diameter is 24.7 cm, and its weight is 1400 grams, giving it a noticeably massive appearance. Its surface has a characteristic, uneven hammered texture with a dark patina, while the top edge is decorated with a polished, warm-toned rim, creating a pleasant contrast.
On the outer surface, on one side, is engraved a circular geometric symbol with a clear pattern. Around the circumference of the bowl is the inscription of the sacred mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" (ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ). This is one of the main mantras of Tibetan Buddhism, dedicated to Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion. It consists of six syllables and is widely used in concentration practices.
Playing the bowl is simple: place it on a soft surface or hold it in your hand and draw a special stick along the edge or lightly strike it. The sound is clear, deep, and can last for several minutes, filling the space.
The bowl looks harmonious in a living room, study, yoga or meditation area. It can become the focal point of a composition on a low table or shelf. Its authentic appearance and symbolic elements make it an excellent gift for those interested in Eastern culture, Buddhism, sound therapy, or those seeking unique pieces with character.
