The comfort of the medium size
Here too the 6.7 cm diameter and 241 g weight represent the middle category, yet they yield a slightly fuller tone than the 6.5 cm version. You receive a tingsha that is firmly present in the space without dominating attention entirely. With the dragon motif, this size makes a particularly expressive gift idea.
The visual world of the Chinese dragon
The dragon running around the rim is traditionally a symbol of abundance, new opportunity and strength. The lines of the motif are remarkably detailed; take a moment to look closely and see how much work goes into such an engraving. This level of detail also serves well in a purely decorative role.
Home situations where it fits in
It suits morning meditation, a shared family blessing, a quiet moment before an important decision or the gentle close of a long conversation equally well. The full, mid-deep tone is firm enough to halt a conversation kindly without feeling intrusive. It can be used comfortably in a living room, even while seated on a carpet.
Material and weight
The 241 g weight indicates that the discs are made of real, thicker-walled brass; this is what ensures long life and the beautiful sustain. The leather cord is strong yet supple; it does not feel taut in the hand, so the touch motion can be made delicately.
Storage and display at home
When not in use the two discs look attractive on an open shelf, on a small wooden tray or on top of a bookcase. Thanks to the dragon motif the piece draws the eye, and guests often ask what it is. A small round mat will protect the wood from any fine scratches the brass might otherwise leave.
