Happy bidding on this unique meditation singing bowl. Thank you. Danusia mindvitae.com P. S. Buying tips for you. If you want to get really high quality rare grade singing bowl, you need to look away from the "fancy" looking ones, you know, the ones with decorative patterns of buddha or Om symbols, colourful (red, blue, violet etc) metalic ones, these are factory made by the hundreds, for tourists and those who really don't know what to look for and just fall for something that on the surface looks "místical" or "traditional tibetan" etc. These aren't unique, nor antique nor handcrafted and can be put in a category of a nice souvenir. Quality items will have irregular edges, either very thick or very thin, often show patina, have hand made irregular markings like circles or dots around the outer edges, the surface (if it's not covered in patina) usually is very silky matted smooth for antique bowls vs very shiny brassy polished surface of newly made, the metal could be with different colour because of distinct composition (% of metals used vary), shapes will also be different, like manipuri, jhumka, thado, lingam, naga, gral, etc...Also the larger, the rarer too, as obviously harder to make (this applies to more modern ones especially).
