Tibetan Singing Bowls are basically simple metal bowls. What makes a tibetan singing bowl special is the sound it can produce - its wonderfull and unique sound, whihc is so soothing that the tibetan sining bowls are often called of the voice of the gods. This varies according to materials and design, you can buy deep tone tibetan singing bowls or one with a higher tone according to taste.
"The bowl - which is usually between 5" and 13" in diameter - "sings" by resonating in much the same way as a glass does when you run a finger carefully around the rim. The bowl is usually played with a wooden mallet that is run around the outside. It can also be struck to produce a bell like sound." in WYRDOLOGY
Antique tibetan singing bowls were usually simple and practial in design and rarely have more decoration than a few lines and circles. Modern versions of the tibetan singing bowls often have more representational artwork, usually tibetan motifs.
