Antique singing bowls

In the Antique Tibetan bowls category, you will find unique Himalayan singing bowls that are not always easily available for sale. There are not always enough Tibetan bowls of this category on the market, as they are becoming more and more rare and difficult to find even in the Himalayan region. According to the information obtained from sellers and buyers, and also according to their appearance, the age of these bowls can be estimated at approximately 70 to 80 years, which can also be seen in the photos themselves. These Tibetan bowls come from remote parts of Nepal, such as the border province of Solukhumbu in the east of Nepal directly below Mount Everest, near the border with Tibet (China), Karnali on the northwest border of Nepal with China, or the Jhapa region in the southeast of the country.
 

There are several subcategories of ancient Himalayan bowls. The most classic is Jambati, according to the shape of which new Tibetan bowls are also made. In this category you will find less common bowls of the Thadobati type and also Remuna, which will be mentioned in the description of the bowl and with the characteristic features of these subcategories. The composition and processing of these bowls is different from the classic newer bowls, which can also be heard in the audio samples. Some older bowls, for example, can play deeper frequencies even with a much lower weight. The decoration of these is rather modest and simple, mostly concentric circles on the bottom of the bowl, or straight lines or fine point engraving on the outer edge in one or more rows, which are often irregular or imperfect.
