Earth Powder Singing Bowl - Om Five Buddha
This impressive large-format Tibetan singing bowl is handcrafted using the traditional earth powder technique—a centuries-old method where natural earth minerals are incorporated into the bowl's composition, creating distinctive acoustic properties and a unique tactile finish.
At 16cm, this substantial bowl produces deep, resonant tones with remarkable sustain and richness. The larger size delivers a fuller, more powerful sound compared to smaller bowls, filling spaces with warm, enveloping harmonics. Two playing methods offer versatility: strike the bowl for a clear, immediate tone, or circle the rim with the striker to create continuous, evolving sound waves.
The bowl features intricate Om and Five Buddha (Dhyani Buddha) engravings—sacred symbols with deep roots in Buddhist iconography and Himalayan artistic tradition. Each element is carefully rendered by skilled artisans, making every bowl a unique piece of traditional craftsmanship.
Tibetan singing bowls have been produced in the Himalayan regions for centuries, used in monasteries for ceremonies, timekeeping, and contemplative practice. Today they're valued for meditation, yoga, sound exploration, and as striking decorative pieces.

- 16cm Tibetan earth powder singing bowl with Om Five Buddha design
