This 80 centimetre bronze mirror gong carries the ancient Flower of Life geometric pattern on its polished surface. Weighing 8.82 kg, the instrument serves both as a striking home object and a serious meditation tool. You will receive a hand-hammered piece whose mirror-polished face produces long, deep tones.
The meaning of the Flower of Life
The Flower of Life is an ancient symbol of six interlocking circles, recognised across cultures from Egyptian temples to Buddhist monasteries. The pattern, laser-printed on the 80 cm surface, shows fine and detailed lines. Please note: due to ongoing development in laser printing, small streaks may appear in the artwork, but they do not affect the sound.
Bronze tonal character
Bronze has been the trusted material for gong making for centuries. The 8.82 kg mass and 80 cm diameter together produce a fundamental tone that is deeper and more sustained than smaller models. The hand-hammered edge carries subtle, irregular dimples, and each strike reveals a different layer of overtones. You can elicit gentle whispers with a light touch and rich, full tones with stronger play.
Suggested uses
This mirror gong fits sound therapy, sound baths, yoga and meditation classes and group practice sessions. The 80 cm size is compact enough for home use, yet large enough for therapeutic spaces. Played with friction mallets (flumies) it produces continuous, wave-like tones; with classic felt mallets it delivers a clear, struck fundamental.
Playing technique and care
The polished surface gives a pleasant tactile feel and responds particularly well to friction mallets. Store the gong in a dry, dust-free place and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the mirror finish and the Flower of Life pattern.
What is included
The 80 cm Flower of Life mirror gong is supplied on its own. We recommend that you separately choose a matching gong stand and mallet so the sound can fully develop. Country of origin: China. Material: bronze.
