Gong With Wooden Stand – 25cm Greenwash

A suspended metal gong brings a room to attention before it is even struck. The greenwash surface has the look of aged copper, with a warm golden centre and darker, weathered tones across the face. Set in an albasia wood stand with carved dragon-like detail, it is a ritual sound piece for meditation corners, yoga spaces and slow, deliberate moments at home.

The greenwash instrument

• The disc hangs freely, so the sound can bloom and fade without being held by the frame.
• The green, coppery finish feels aged and atmospheric, more like a found object than a polished ornament.
• A raised golden boss sits at the centre, giving the eye a natural point of stillness.
• As with any gong, a gentle strike creates layered overtones rather than one simple, bell-like note.
• The visual weight is quiet but strong, making it both an instrument and a focal point for the room.

Carved albasia wood and metal

The gong is made from metal and held in an albasia wood stand. The stand has a dark, weathered finish with pale rubbed highlights that bring out the carved columns and the intertwined creatures along the top rail.

It is handmade in Bali.

Sounding the gong

Strike the centre gently with the mallet and let the note open in its own time. Softer playing gives a rounded, meditative bloom; stronger playing brings more shimmer and presence.

Leave a little space around the gong when you use it. A hanging disc needs room to vibrate, and the pause after the sound is part of the ritual.

Placement and simple care

Place it on a stable, level surface where the stand can sit fully supported. It suits a meditation space, yoga room, quiet hallway or studio corner where it can be seen as well as heard.

Dust the wood with a soft dry cloth. Keep the metal surface dry, and avoid harsh cleaners that could disturb the greenwash finish.

From ceremony to studio practice

Gongs are traditionally used in temple ceremonies in Bali and Java. Nowadays, they are often found in yoga studios as well.

Common questions

Is this a playable gong or mainly decorative?
It is a playable metal gong on a wooden stand, and it also works as a decorative focal point when not in use.

Does the greenwash finish mean it is antique?
No. Greenwash describes the aged, verdigris-style look of the finish, not the age of the piece.

Is the sound tuned to a specific note?
No tuning note is specified. Gongs usually produce a shifting field of overtones rather than a single clear pitch.
