This large singing bowl features Buddha and Tree of Life imagery in a copper-colour finish. Its broad 19cm form gives it a substantial presence, whether it is used as part of a sound practice or displayed among objects connected with Buddhist and contemplative traditions.
Singing bowls are played by striking or rubbing around the rim to create a sustained ringing tone. The exact sound and resonance depend on how the bowl is played and the surroundings in which it is used. A gentle strike can mark a transition, while a steady movement around the rim can produce a longer note.
The decoration brings together two recognisable motifs. Buddha imagery is associated with Buddhist traditions, while the Tree of Life appears across many symbolic and spiritual contexts. Here, they make the bowl as much a visual object as a sounding one.
A decorated bowl for sound and stillness
Place the bowl somewhere it can be appreciated between uses, then explore its voice with a light touch. It can become a simple focal point for listening, quiet pauses or personal ritual without requiring complicated instructions.
