A large Tibetan/Himalayan singing bowl. Diameter: 8 7/8 in; height: 4 1/8 in.

There is wear to the centre of the base and some superficial corrosion to the interior, probably due to water. The fine, smoothly finished and hammered alloy is quite heavy and when struck the bowl has a deep bell-like tone.
