The antique singing bowls are hand-carved metal bowls that, when struck or played with a mallet, produce rich resonating sounds. These are from hundreds of years ago, generally originating from Asia and having been traditionally used in meditation, healing, and spiritual rituals. It is for this reason that antique singing bowls have these deep soothing tones: the use of copper, bronze, and iron combined together is believed to bring one relaxation and balance. Each bowl is unique in its characteristics due to the way it was created and the material used, hence highly valued by collectors and practitioners alike.
