brass bowls
Copper-zinc alloy containers
Brass bowls are bowl-shaped vessels made from brass, an alloy of copper and zinc.
They appear in religious and meditative contexts—Tibetan singing bowls produce resonant tones when struck or circled with a mallet.
Brass bowls also serve decorative and practical purposes: a brass bowl filled with potpourri, antique brass bowls displayed on the mantel.
