Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Pale putty body with a red cap, standing on a black plinth like it owns the room.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Genuine Banalinga are generally described as forming in the currents of one short stretch of the Narmada River in central India, rather than being carved from stone or cast in bronze. Basically it is a broad oval in smooth gray-beige with a glassy sheen. A crescent of maroon covers the top, and a fine crack runs across the upper right. The bottom edge shows a thin red line, and a black cylinder supports it. It is 16.25 inches high and 10 in diameter.

Neutral in every way, apart from one very red hat.
