Singing Bowl Om Five Buddha Earth Powder 16cm

A grounded metal singing bowl for quiet practice, made to bring sound, weight and visual focus into one object. This aluminium singing bowl sits with a steady presence, decorated with the Om and Five Buddha design so it feels as considered on a shelf as it does in the hand.

What you notice before the first note

• The bowl has a settled, substantial feel, giving it a calm physical presence during use.
• The decorated surface makes it suitable as both a meditation instrument and a sculptural object.
• The Om and Five Buddha motif draws the eye inward, giving the piece a clear focal point.
• Its metal body is made for resonance, with the tone shaped by the bowl’s form, thickness and touch.
• Placed in a quiet corner, it turns a small pause into something more deliberate.

Handcrafted metalwork from India

This bowl is handmade in India, so small variations in finish and detail are part of its character. The design is ornamental as well as symbolic, giving the surface a ritual feeling without making the piece feel overstated.

Playing it with patience

Strike the rim gently to hear the tone open and fade. If using a wooden striker around the rim, keep the pressure slow and even, allowing the sound to build through friction rather than force.

Like all singing bowls, it rewards a light hand. The sound depends on touch, placement and technique, so each session can feel slightly different.

Using it in a quiet routine

Place it on a stable surface or hold it carefully in the palm before playing. Use it to mark the beginning of meditation, close a yoga practice, or bring a clear note into a still room.

Between uses, keep it somewhere dry and steady. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and dust.

Om and the Five Buddha motif

In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, Om is closely associated with sacred sound and the act of centring attention. The Five Buddha design refers to the Five Dhyani Buddhas in Buddhist iconography, often understood as symbolic figures linked with wisdom, direction and contemplative practice. On a singing bowl, these motifs give the object a visual language as well as a sound, making it a piece for focus, ritual and quiet presence.
