A Himalayan (Tibetan) sound bowl is a metallic vessel that resonates with an enchanting sound. These 'bells' can be found across various parts of Asia.

Singing bowls possess a captivating history, representing an age-old Bronze Age tradition of craftsmanship carried forward over thousands of years. However, much misinformation has been propagated about singing bowls, both in books and online. It can be challenging for consumers to discern fact from fiction due to the myriad myths and inaccuracies about the metallic composition, historical context, traditional uses, and supposed healing powers of singing bowls (like chakra healing). Many of these false narratives are designed to inflate their prices. Given the wide variation in quality and the proliferation of counterfeit items, it's crucial for potential buyers to exercise caution and become educated.

Singing bowls come in various appearances, from rustic to finely crafted. Some are simple in design, while others boast intricate engravings. Their geometric precision can also vary - some have an almost perfect form, while others embrace their charming imperfections.
