Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Dull graphite and slightly rumpled, an egg that has lived a bit.

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. Presented as a wide, softly lumpy oval with a flatter crown and rounded base. The gray-black surface is matte, with cloudy mid-tones and faint pale scratches over the face. No stand is visible, and the form rests directly on its curve. It is 14.25 inches high and 8.5 in diameter.

Weathered, relaxed, and refusing every urge to preen.
