Featuring a flat, circular shape and a bent edge, this gong produces a deep and resonant sound when struck with a mallet. The seven metals used in its construction are believed to represent the seven planets in the solar system and possess unique healing properties.

In addition to its impressive sound and craftsmanship, this gong also features the sacred symbols of Astamangal and Om Mane Padme Hum. Astamangal is a series of eight auspicious symbols in Buddhism, symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, and longevity. Om Mane Padme Hum is a mantra in Tibetan Buddhism, often translated as “Hail to the jewel in the lotus,” which is believed to bring blessings, protection, and peace.

The origins of the gong can be traced back to the Bronze Age, around 3500 BC, and it has since become an iconic instrument in East and Southeast Asian music. The term “gong” itself originated in Java, and the ancient world saw four main gong manufacturing centers in Burma, China, Java, and Annam.

In the 18th century, the gong made its way to the Western world and was soon incorporated into Western-style symphony orchestras. A form of bronze cauldron gong known as a resting bell was widely used in ancient Greece and Rome, including in the famous Oracle of Dodona, where disc gongs were also used.

The 7 Metal Bronze Nepali Gong is a truly unique and special piece that will enhance any music lover’s collection. Its beautiful craftsmanship, rich history, and deep, resonant sound make it an extraordinary instrument.
