Antique Plant Carved Singing Bowl
This is an antique Jambati singing bowl, a type of Tibetan or Himalayan bowl. It’s most recognizable feature is the decorative carvings which appear on the surface, typically featuring round motifs. Unlike classic bowl forms, Jambati bowls have a flat disk-like shape at the base, which affects the resonance and tone of the sound when played. This bowls are traditionally used for meditation, calming and healing applications.

Cleaning: Routinely clean the antique Jambati carved singing bowl to limit the accumulation of dust, dirt, and oxidation. Here’s how to clean it:
a) Use a soft, lint-free cloth: Gently wipe the exterior and interior of the bowl with a clean, dry, and soft cloth. Microfiber cloths work well for this purpose.
b) Avoid abrasive materials: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaning materials, as they can scratch or damage the bowl’s surface.
c) Clean carved areas carefully: If your singing bowl has intricate carvings or designs, take extra care when cleaning these areas to avoid damage. - Storage: Store the antique singing bowl in a dust-free environment. Use a cushion or soft cloth to protect its surface from scratches or contact with hard objects.
- Avoid moisture: Store your singing bowl in a dry environment to avoid rust and corrosion. Metal bowls in particular are susceptible to deterioration from moisture.
- Striker and cushion: If you use a wooden striker (mallet) or cushion, make sure they are clean and free from dirt or debris. Clean these accessories in the same way as the bowl itself.
- Resonance: To preserve the clarity of the bowl’s sound, strike it gently and evenly. Hard striking can quickly degrade the quality of the sound it produces, and a light touch will create a harmonious, sustained tone.
