This large blue Tibetan singing bowl is decorated with a double dorje design and measures approximately 27cm across. Its size gives the bowl a strong visual presence, while its form invites exploration through sound as well as display.
Singing bowls can be played by striking the bowl or by moving around its rim to create a sustained ringing tone. Start gently and listen to how the sound develops and fades. The bowl can be used to mark a beginning or ending, create a focused pause, or simply explore the changing resonance produced by different touches.
The double dorje, also known as a crossed vajra, is a symbol found in Tibetan Buddhist imagery. Its meaning is rooted in spiritual tradition and symbolism, rather than being a claim about a particular physical effect. The design gives this bowl a clear connection to Tibetan-inspired decorative objects.
A substantial bowl with symbolic decoration
Keep it visible between uses, perhaps alongside tingsha, incense or other contemplative objects. When played, its larger size offers an engaging way to pay attention to tone, vibration and silence.
