Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Deep olive-green with one thin maroon belt line right at the waist.
This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Dams planned along the Narmada since the 1940s have steadily removed the dry season that harvesting depends on, so gathering genuine lingams from the riverbed has become close to impossible. Short oval in dark green-grey with a soft sheen and strong highlights near the top. A narrow maroon band runs horizontally across the lower middle, and a faint red line sits at the crown. The body is otherwise plain. It is 15 inches high and 9.25 in diameter.
Tightens its belt once and considers the matter settled.
