The Nepal Tibetan Singing Bowl for Meditation is hand-hammered by Nepalese artisans and offered in two diameters, 8cm and 12.5cm, each available with or without a cushion, and every option includes a striker, so you can pick the exact combination of size and accessories that fits your setup without paying for extras you don't need.
We want to be direct about the history here rather than let the marketing language carry it alone: metal bowls do have real roots as ritual vessels within Himalayan Buddhist and Bon practice, but using one specifically for "sound therapy" meditation, the way this bowl is commonly marketed, is more a modern wellness-culture development than a documented ancient meditation technique. Striking it doesn't diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition - what it does reliably is ring out a genuinely resonant tone.
The supplier describes the material only as a "long-established metal alloy blend" without naming the specific metals involved, so we're passing that ambiguity along rather than guessing at a composition we can't confirm. If a precisely named metal matters to you, our bronze- and copper-specific listings elsewhere in this collection state their material more directly.
The cushion option is worth choosing deliberately rather than as an afterthought: a cushion cradles the bowl and helps it resonate more fully than setting it directly on a hard tabletop, so if you don't already have one, it's worth adding.

Rest the bowl on a flat surface or its cushion, tap the rim gently with the striker, or circle the striker around the outer rim for a longer, sustained tone.
