Singing bowls were traditionally used throughout Asia as part of Buddhist, Bon and meditation practice. Today they are used worldwide for meditation, relaxation, healthcare and religious practice.

Singing bowls are played by striking with a mallet to produce a warm bell tone and harmonic overtones. They may also be played by the friction of rubbing a wooden mallet around the rim of the bowl to produce a continuous singing sound.

Donated by Linden Gallery in Door County.
