Engraved Lord's Supper bowlby ~Dewfooter

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

Sound-bowl from Nepal, engraved in Celto-Germanic-Byzantine style and Greek inscription for the Lord's Supper.
The idea for this came from the Gundestrup Cauldron. I don't think I'm going to do the inside as well though...

Here photographed with sketchbook.

Looks like you did quite a bit of research to get this right. It's beautiful work.

~Dewfooter Dec 12, 2012

Thanks. I did study Celtic and Thracian artwork for this. The Germanic influence is not prominent, though the runestaves on the cross are, obviously.

You did a fine job.

~Dewfooter Dec 12, 2012

Thank you.

You are welcome.

That's pretty darned cool! Does it still ring well after the carving?

~Dewfooter Dec 10, 2012

Oh yes. The sound has not suffered one bit.

That said, this ís a lathed bowl, not a hand-beaten one, so the sound isn't great to begin with. It's also brass and not bronze.

~sgainbrachta Dec 10, 2012

Yeah, the last couple I found were turned brass, so the sounds was too "bright". I have a really huge one- and it sounds wonderful, both as a gong and as a rolling chime.

~Dewfooter Dec 11, 2012

That's right. Mine has a nasty 'ring' to it, that hand-beaten ones do not have.

~sgainbrachta Dec 11, 2012

Yeah, the structure of the crystals id very different between them, for sure. Hence the nicer tone.
