27 Inch Bronze Gong Handmade In Nepal One of One 0012

Gong 12 — 27 Inch Hand-Hammered Nepali Temple Gong One of a Kind

Nepali temple gongs are hand-hammered in the Kathmandu Valley by bronze craftsmen specialists.

This one is 27 inches across, hammered from a bronze in the bell-metal family, patinated dark, and finished with a full iconography that is unique to this one gong.

The central feature of this gong is a seated deity figure surrounded by lotus and flowing ornament.

An ornate crowned figure sits in the upper center of the field, with a halo-like circle behind the head. Large lotus petals, curling vines, and sweeping line work move outward and downward around the figure.

The surface is densely engraved, with floral, cloud-like, and water-like forms filling the field rather than leaving the center open.

The tone here is a deep A#2 as the dominant voice, with a close A2 partial beneath it and a quieter B3 above that adds brightness at the front of the sound.

Played with a soft mallet it opens with a low, immediate body, then shows a brief upper shimmer before settling into a long, bass-weighted sustain.

The character is heavy and devotional, with the A#2 carrying most of the sound and the brighter partials falling away quickly after the initial bloom.

Playing will favor a single clean strike and a restrained roll that keeps the low voice open and clear. It sounds like a different instrument depending on how you choose to play it.

At The Ohm Store every instrument is selected as a resonator first and a visual object second.

There is only one gong available like this, and you're receiving the exact gong that's pictured and recorded here.

This gong does not include a gong stand.
