It has a unique flower shape and is made to hold a singing bowl without a stand. It is crafted from purple silk fabric with a gold chrysanthemum and paulownia flower pattern. This cushion has a decorative gold-colored tassel at the very center.\u003cbr\u003eSinging bowls are sounded during ritual prayer. The sound of an Orin bell can reach the Buddha in the Pure Land. Sound is also used to ward off people's evil spirits and convey prayers to the Buddha, ancestors, and the deceased. The pillows help stabilize the bowl and balance the sound, and are a personal design choice for the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple, gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric, silk\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 340 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked weight: 500 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 23 cm wide x 11.5 cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood condition considering age.
