Void
An enigmatic, premium quality bowl with geometric design patterns and construction which were made with remarkable consistency from the 15th through the 19th centuries. They feature a ribbon of dots surrounded by small circles on the exterior wall under the lip. This was an ancient, sacred geometric symbol. It was first seen in astrology as the Sun sign. It represented "the one becoming aware of his or her source". In Himalayan or Tibetan Buddhist context, we believe this symbol represented recognition of the Void -- known in Buddhism as the Doctrine of Dependent Origination. Each individual is inseparable from the All. The dot is the contracted circle; the circle is the expanded don: as above, so below.
A pattern of concentric circles frames the ribbon and also appears halfway down the exterior wall. Another set of concentric circles orbit out from a small circle in the center of the basin. The patterns of concentric circles represented the infinite expansion of vibrations in the Universe. These markings actually depicted the function of the singing bowls: showing wave patterns emanating outward, they remind seekers throughout the time that the vibrations of our thoughts, words, and deeds resonate infinitely out into the Universe.
All Voids have a "pie-lip" construction, a primitive technique we first observed in 10th-century bowl construction. In the forging process, the metal was folded over and the excess rim was trimmed off, rather than simply being sheared off at the top.
