Code: L232G4DB6
This exceptionally rare, large-format antique Lingam bowl possesses a remarkably thick architecture and a profound acoustic presence. Its substantial mass and central protrusion generate a complex, pulsating dual-tone resonance that offers an incredibly deep focal point for advanced sound healing work.
Classification & Form
Type: Antique Large-Format Lingam Bowl.
Form Profile: Generous proportions with a heavy, thick-walled architecture, featuring steep walls and the defining central conical protrusion (the lingam).
Musical Signature & Acoustics
Fundamental Pitch: G4 (385 Hz) / A warm, grounding base frequency that firmly anchors the room's energy.
Harmonic Overtones: A brilliant, exceptionally clear Db6 (1104 Hz) sings prominently above the fundamental.
Acoustic Presence: The bowl's historical repair and significant density cause these two distinct frequencies to interact beautifully, creating a rhythmic, pulsating "beat" effect. This oscillation continuously draws the mind back to the present moment, making it a spectacular tool for trance induction and focused contemplation.
Physical Specifications
Dimensions: 23.2 cm diameter.
Weight: 1.5 kg / Substantial mass with an exceptionally thick metallic distribution.
Wall & Rim Profile: Extraordinarily heavy-walled with prominent parallel grooving along the exterior, a flat inner basin, and a thick, smooth rim.
Patina, Surface Characteristics & Condition
Displays a rich, weathered golden-copper alloy with authentic atmospheric oxidation and a silky satin touch from centuries of handling.
The interior proudly showcases the hand-crafted central peak that identifies its sacred Lingam classification.
Archival Notes
An exceedingly rare, thick-walled acoustic specimen with a beautifully complex, pulsating dual-voice. The bowl bears the profound marks of its lineage and I assume it was broken in antiquity and meticulously repaired, perhaps indicating it was highly treasured by its previous caretakers.
