Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

A matte black egg with a soft glow where the light lands.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. In Tantric tradition the body of a lingam is taken to stand for male energy, described as knowledge, while its markings represent female energy, described as wisdom. Broad, plump oval in deep black with a velvety, nearly seamless surface. A faint pale bloom sits on the upper shoulder and fades toward the base. The contour rises in one smooth, steady sweep. It is 13.25 inches high and 8.5 in diameter.

Black as a closed door and just as smooth.
