Singing Bowl 15cm 750g Nepalese Moon

A warm-toned Nepalese singing bowl made from a mixed metal alloy, created for the small ritual of sound meeting stillness. Strike the rim gently and the bowl answers with a deep, resonant tone.

What you will notice in the sound and the surface

• The rounded form sits low and steady, with a darkened rim and a softly aged bronze-gold finish.
• The surface has a mottled, hammered-looking texture, so the light catches it in uneven, organic patches.
• A circular symbol decorates the side, giving the bowl a quiet focal point when displayed.
• Played with a striker, it can be tapped for an immediate bell-like note or circled at the rim for a more sustained singing tone.
• It suits meditation, yoga practice, sound work or a simple pause before the day begins.

The metal bowl itself

The bowl is made from an alloy of brass, copper bronze, iron and silver. Its finish is warm and time-softened rather than bright and polished, with visible tonal variation across the outside of the bowl.

How to play and care for it

Place the bowl on a steady surface or hold it flat in your palm. Tap the rim lightly for a clear struck tone, or move a striker slowly around the outer rim with even pressure to encourage the bowl to sing.

Keep it dry and wipe it with a soft cloth after handling. Metal bowls can mark or dull with moisture, so avoid leaving it in damp places.

From the Himalayan singing bowl tradition

Singing bowls are closely associated with Himalayan ritual and contemplative practice, including Tibetan Buddhist settings and later meditation use around the world. Traditionally, the sound marks a transition: the start of a sitting, the close of a practice, or a moment when attention is brought back to the body and breath. This Nepalese bowl sits within that wider lineage as a contemporary sound object, valued as much for its tactile ritual as for its presence in a room.

Common questions

Is this bowl tuned to a specific musical note?
No specific note is supplied for this bowl. It is best chosen for its tone, feel and visual character rather than as a precision-tuned instrument.

Can it be used as décor as well as an instrument?
Yes. Its aged metal finish, rounded shape and side symbol make it suitable for display on a shelf, altar space, desk or meditation corner.
