Bronze Om Mantra Bowl Black

Bronze Om Mantra Bowl Black (shop SKU DSC26606) is a bowl on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

A metal singing bowl is played by circling the rim with a mallet or striking it gently, producing a sustained tone. This is a sound and meditation instrument, not a medical device. The title describes the piece as bronze. Unless the title says solid bronze, it may be a bronze-colored finish; please check the piece in the shop if you need the exact metal.

Om (Aum) is a sacred syllable in Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
