Antique Naga Singing Bowls are also termed Pedestal bowls, Chalice bowls, or Stem bowls. The defining feature is the welded base upon which they rest - although in sound healing one can also suspend them from the hand by the base, using them to encircle the head of the listener/client, or for use in concert swinging from side to side, thus applying a sort of 'Doppler effect.' The bowl itself often possesses a very curved base. With the 'stand' there is no necessity for the bowl to have a flat base. However, the 'stand' reaches up the wall of the bell and acts as a dampener upon the sounds. Because of this feature, these bowls will also often produce a tone higher than one might generally expect form a bowl of similar diameter. With their base inhibiting the sound, these bowls tend to sound best when sung. The walls can vary from a natural bell-like curve to the rim towards being sharply angled where they mostly bend up back inwards to the rim. (Frank Perry, "Himalayan Sound Revelations", 2014)

Each Hand Hammered Himalayan Singing Bowl is individually crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Beginning as a carefully selected metal alloy, the bowl is heated and hand-hammered repeatedly to shape and refine its form. This slow, hands-on process creates subtle variations in thickness and contour that give every bowl its own unique sound profile and character.
Because each bowl is shaped by hand rather than cast in a mold, no two are exactly alike. The tone, sustain, and harmonic overtones will naturally vary from bowl to bowl, offering a one-of-a-kind sound experience. These bowls produce warm, complex layers of resonance — ideal for meditation, sound therapy, or personal practice. Visible hammer marks and slight irregularities in the surface are signs of authentic craftsmanship and add to their organic, timeless appeal.
