Taoist Water Singing Bowl – Longxi Model
Material: Bronze
Dimensions: Diameter 39 cm
Travel back in time to the Han dynasty with this spectacular water singing bowl, also called a Taoist bowl. This fascinating object, with origins dating back over 2000 years, is deeply rooted in Chinese tradition. Its name, Longxi, refers to the illustration engraved at the bottom of the bowl: four moving dragons, symbols of power and harmony. Made of bronze, this large bowl (39 cm diameter) is both a refined decorative object and a unique experimental instrument that captivates both eyes and ears. Usage advice: Fill the bowl halfway with water, wet your hands, then vigorously rub the handles on both sides. Gradually, a deep resonance is heard, the vibrations animate the water surface to create spectacular ripples. With a little patience, the water can literally shoot up to 50 cm high! An amazing sensory experience, both auditory, visual, and tactile. Curious to see it in action? Watch a video example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Xd5-E69qM
