Born from Fire: The Hammering Process

Forged in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Crafted by master artisans.

A large bronze disc is heated red-hot. Three men hammer in rhythm to shape the heavy Wall. 
The Rim is widened, and the Navel is flattened for stability.

This bowl carries the energy of its makers. It is a unique soul.
