Aparmita Ultapati Antique Bowl

Upside down on purpose. The Ultapati — meaning "inverted" in Nepali — is an antique bowl made to be played face down, with the rim resting on a surface or on the body rather than the base. This inversion changes everything about how it resonates. The sound opens outward rather than inward, producing a broader, more diffuse vibration that spreads across a surface rather than focusing at a point. At 18–23cm across and 507g to 1,001g, the Ultapati sits in a useful size range for both tabletop work and body placement. The antique finish — naturally aged, with a surface that has softened over decades of use — gives the sound a warmth that newer bowls do not have. Sourced individually from Kathmandu's oldest trading networks. Each piece aged, not manufactured to look aged. Handcrafted and aged in Nepal. --- SPECIFICATIONS • Type: Antique singing bowl — Ultapati (inverted) style • Diameter: 18cm to 23cm (select by piece) • Weight: 507g to 1,001g depending on piece • Playing position: Inverted — rim down on surface or body • Finish: Natural aged antique patina — surface character varies between pieces • Best for: Surface resonance work, body placement, tabletop sound healing, collection • Each bowl is individually sourced and aged — not artificially treated • Includes: Wooden striker and cushion ring
