The Premium Etched style of the Zen Vedic Series uses precision laser etching to bring intricate Buddhist and Hindu artwork to bronze in a way that's nearly impossible to achieve by hand. The detail is fine, consistent, and elaborate, and each bowl carries that artwork alongside the warm, sustained voice the Vedic Series is built around.
The result is a bowl that earns a second look before you ever strike it, and a third one after you do. Whether it lives on an altar, finds its way into session work, or sits where it can simply be looked at, a Premium Etched bowl carries its presence in both directions, what you see and what you hear.
Etched Design
This Premium Etched Zen Vedic Series bowl features a seated bodhisattva at the center of the inside, framed by clouds and rings of Tibetan mantra script, with Sri Yantras and ornate floral mandalas in Greek key frames anchoring the cardinal points along the inner walls. The outside of the bowl is wrapped in large floral mandalas alternating with longevity medallions framed by Greek key meander patterns, while the bottom is anchored by a central Om syllable surrounded by concentric rings of radiating mantra. Together, the iconography brings the calm presence of the bodhisattva into dialogue with the cosmic geometry of the Sri Yantra, the longevity of the Chinese tradition, and the seed sound of Om, a bowl that pulls Buddhist devotion, Vedic geometry, and East Asian symbolism into one continuous surface of prayer.
About the Zen Vedic Series
The Zen Singing Bowls Vedic Series is hand-crafted in India by skilled artisans working in a long-standing metalsmithing tradition. Though singing bowls are often referred to as Tibetan Singing Bowls, Tibet itself does not produce them. The bowls associated with this practice are made across the broader Himalayan and South Asian region, with India being one of the key centers of production. Each Vedic Series bowl is shaped, hammered, and finished by hand, carrying the small variations and character marks that come with traditional craftsmanship. No two bowls are identical, and each one reflects the maker's touch.
