Cross Vajra Singing Bowl
$98.00
A handcrafted cross vajra singing bowl from Nepal, forged from singing copper with visible hammer marks from traditional hand-forming. Produces a sustained low-to-mid tone with layered overtones — suitable for meditation timing, room resonance, or contemplative practice. Each bowl is a unique piece.
Cross Vajra Singing Bowl
This singing bowl is handcrafted using traditional metalworking techniques. The bowl body is made from a copper-tin alloy, hand-hammered to produce its resonant tone. The exterior features a cross-vajra (rus-rdo rje) motif engraved around the outer wall — four vajra scepters arranged at cardinal points, each on a lotus base. When struck or circled with a wooden mallet, the bowl produces a sustained harmonic tone.
Materials and Construction:
- Metal alloy: Copper-tin composition, hand-hammered; exact ratio varies by maker
- Cross Vajra engraving: Four vajra scepters arranged in a cross pattern on the outer bowl wall; each vajra on a lotus base; the motif is engraved and hand-finished
- Interior: Polished to a reflective finish to enhance tonal response
- Wooden mallet: Included; used to strike or circle the rim
Sound Profile:
The bowl produces a fundamental tone with two to three audible overtones, depending on strike angle and pressure. The harmonic complexity is influenced by the bowl wall thickness and the hand-hammering process. Typical fundamental frequency falls in the low-to-mid range, suitable for meditation timer use or as a room tone.
Use:
- Strike the rim or side with the wooden mallet for a single tone
- Circle the mallet around the outer rim to produce a sustained harmonic drone
- Place on a cushion or resonance mat to amplify low-frequency response
Caring for Your Bowl:
- Store in a dry place; avoid moisture and perfume contact
- Wipe with a dry cloth after use to remove fingerprint oils
- Do not stack heavy objects on top of the bowl
Note: Each bowl is handcrafted; variations in wall thickness, diameter, and hammer marks are normal and reflect the handmade process. The engraved cross-vajra pattern is applied by hand; minor irregularities in alignment are characteristic of hand production.

SOUND GUIDE Choose a singing bowl by its measurements and sound, not by an origin story that cannot be verified. Diameter, depth, wall thickness, finish, and striker all affect how a bowl responds. A clean strike and a slow pass around the rim can produce different tones from the same piece. This guide explains what product recordings can tell you, how size changes the playing experience, and what to check before buying, using, and caring for a modern singing bowl. ABOUT SACRED TIBET At Sacred Tibet, selection begins with material, proportion, and meaning. We look for tactile surfaces, balanced forms, and symbols drawn from Tibetan and Himalayan visual traditions. Since 2016, we have built a considered collection of jewelry, prayer beads, art, and ritual objects—pieces chosen to be worn often, kept close, and given with intention. Each one is presented with the detail needed to understand its design, appreciate its character, and care for it well.DISCOVER
