Struck or circled around the rim with a mallet, it produces a sustained tone with layered overtones that slowly fades. Engraved mantras, usually Om Mani Padme Hum, are traditionally believed to send their blessing outward each time the bowl sounds. At around 16cm this is the large, statement option: a centrepiece for a dresser, altar or sound space. Large pieces hold a whole collection of stones or jewellery and give the deepest, fullest presence in a room. From the maker: Crafted in the sacred Tibetan style, this 16cm bowl features a mesmerizing mantra engraving, allowing your customers to immerse themselves in the transformative power of sound and spirituality. It reflects the sacred artistry and dedication of Tibetan artisans. Also in this range (6 in total): 21cm - 5 Buddhas, 21cm - 7 Chakra & Flower of Life, 21cm - Om & Buddha. Size: approximately 16cm. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Engraved designs such as mandalas, the Om symbol or the Buddha are decorative and devotional; they reflect the traditions the bowls come from. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Circle the rim slowly with even pressure; once it starts to sing, keep the speed steady. - For a softer sound, strike rather than rub, and let each tone fade fully. - Gifting idea: a ready-to-play set is a thoughtful present for a yoga teacher or a friend starting meditation. - Display idea: between sessions, a bowl on its cushion makes a striking shelf or altar piece. - Session idea: strike once at the start of a meditation and let the tone fade completely before you begin. ## Care - Store somewhere dry and away from hard objects that could dent the rim. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
