Hand-Painted Indian Ritual Sound Bowls
Set of Three Price (set of 3): $285
Individual pricing:
• Large bowl: $125
• Medium bowl: $95
• Small bowl: $75
Description
This set of three hand-painted Indian ritual sound bowls embodies the quiet poetry of age, craft, and ceremonial use. Each bowl is formed in metal and finished with a richly patinated surface, adorned with floral and botanical motifs that have softened beautifully over time. The painterly wear, subtle oxidation, and layered pigments give each piece a distinct presence—no two are exactly alike.
Finished with aged textile ties, these bowls straddle the line between functional ritual object and sculptural décor. While they may produce a gentle tonal resonance when struck, they are best appreciated as decorative sound bowls—objects of atmosphere rather than precision-tuned instruments.
Displayed together, they create a compelling visual rhythm; styled individually, they serve as evocative accents on shelves, consoles, or altar-like vignettes.
