Singing Bowl Set, Green Tara 10cm 380g

A brass singing bowl set for bringing sound into a quiet corner, with the simple ritual of wood meeting rim. Its dark metal surface is lifted by gold and silver coloured decoration, ready to strike, circle, listen, and return your attention to the room.

What comes together in the set

• The wooden striker offers two ways to play: a gentle tap for a bell-like tone, or slow movement around the rim for a sung sound.
• The decorative Green Tara theme gives the set a more devotional character than a plain singing bowl.
• The dark bowl and warm wood create a grounded, ceremonial look even when it is not being played.

The dark brass bowl and Green Tara detail

The bowl is made from brass, with a deep, dark finish and bright decorative bands visible around the outside. Inside, the metal catches the light softly, so it feels both functional and display-worthy.

Green Tara imagery is associated in Tibetan Buddhist tradition with compassion, nurturing presence and swift responsiveness. Here, that symbolism gives the singing bowl a gentle devotional centre, suited to meditation spaces, yoga rooms and small daily rituals of attention.

How to bring out the sound

Hold it steady on an open palm. Tap the rim lightly with the wooden striker for a clear struck tone, then listen until the sound fades.

To make the bowl sing, keep the pressure even and move the striker slowly around the outer rim. It can take a little practice. Start lightly, stay unhurried, and let the sound build without forcing it.

Nepalese origin and Buddhist context

This singing bowl set comes from Nepal. Singing bowls are often described as bell-like instruments, because their sides and rim vibrate to create sound. In Tibetan Buddhist and wider meditation settings, they are commonly used to mark the beginning or end of practice, to gather attention, or to create a shared moment of quiet. Green Tara belongs to Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist iconography, where she is honoured as a compassionate female figure.

Keeping the bowl clear and cared for

Wipe the brass with a soft, dry cloth if it gathers fingerprints, and keep it away from prolonged damp so the finish stays looking its best.

Store the striker beside the bowl, not inside it, to avoid accidental marks. If you display the set, give the bowl enough space around it so the rim is easy to reach and play.

Size and details

The bowl measures 10 cm across and the set weighs 380 g. Origin: Nepal.

A thoughtful sound ritual gift

This is a considered gift for someone who meditates, practises yoga, keeps a small altar, or enjoys meaningful objects at home. The Green Tara theme gives it a softer symbolic note, especially for someone drawn to compassion, care and contemplative practice.

Common questions

Is this singing bowl tuned to a specific musical note?
No specific note is supplied for this bowl. It is best chosen as a meditation and ritual sound object rather than as a precision-tuned musical instrument.

Is it difficult to play?
The struck tone is the easiest place to begin. The sung tone around the rim takes more practice, because it depends on steady pressure, slow movement and the angle of the striker.

Can the bowl be used for display as well as sound?
Yes. The dark brass finish and Green Tara decoration make it suitable to leave out in a meditation corner, on a shelf, or beside a place where you pause during the day.
