This bowl is made of a number of metals and is hand-hammered. The Chakra (human body energy center) for this bowl is “E”. This chakra is the solar plexus chakra and is associated with self-esteem and the ability to make life choices versus being plagued with doubts.
Age is hard to determine but based on the patina . . . dark spotting and brownish coloration, I would estimate mid-1900s.
Based on the hammering, I think this bowl was used by travelling monks.
Will include a recently-made striker and cushion, both sourced separate from the bowl.
