Large Himalayan Foot Standing Singing Bowl 50x20cm

A large brass singing bowl made for foot-standing sound practice, with a wide, open form that turns playing into something physical and steady. Its plain golden interior catches the light, while the darker outer wall gives it the presence of a sculptural object. This is a Tibetan-style singing bowl for practitioners who want sound, weight and stillness to meet in one grounded ritual. The bowl in front of you The open brass form feels substantial before it is played, bringing a quiet sense of ceremony to a room. Its plain surface keeps the focus on tone and presence rather than decoration. The warm interior has a softly uneven sheen, with natural tonal shifts visible across the metal. The darker outside edge gives the bowl visual depth when placed on the floor. It is designed for standing practice, where the feet meet the bowl as part of the sound experience. Sound, weight and playing This bowl is made for deep, resonant sound work. The broad brass body and substantial weight give it a strong physical presence, so the act of playing feels deliberate rather than casual. Use it with a suitable singing bowl striker or padded mallet. A gentle strike brings an immediate tone; rim-playing takes patience, steady pressure and a slow hand as the metal begins to vibrate. Plain brass, made to resonate The bowl is made from brass, with no visible decorative symbols or painted detail. Its beauty is in the shape, the warm metal colour and the way the open vessel holds light. No specific making method is given, so this description does not assume it is hand-hammered or cast. What is clear is the form: a large, simple brass bowl made for sound practice rather than ornament alone. Using it for foot-standing practice Place the bowl on a stable, level surface before use. Step in and out carefully, ideally with support nearby, especially while learning how the bowl responds to sound and contact. It suits sound-work practitioners, meditation spaces, studios and calm home interiors where the bowl can stay placed rather than be moved often. In the singing bowl tradition Singing bowls are closely associated with Himalayan and Tibetan Buddhist sound practice, where a struck tone can mark the beginning or end of a ritual, meditation or quiet sitting. In contemporary use, larger bowls are often chosen for sound baths and body-based sound work, where the listener pays attention to vibration, breath and pause. This foot-standing form brings that listening into the body through contact with the vessel itself, while staying simple, plain and focused on resonance. Care for the brass surface Wipe the bowl with a soft, dry cloth after handling. Keep it away from prolonged damp, as brass can dull or develop marks when moisture is left on the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If the surface changes tone over time, that is part of how brass naturally ages. Size and details The bowl measures 50 cm across and 20 cm high, and weighs 10.7 kg.
