Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Gray-green with fine vertical lines, and a golden, rust-edged patch on the shoulder.

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. Rising tall and narrow, the oval has a pale gray surface with delicate vertical hairlines. A large patch of mustard gold, edged in dark red, sits on the upper front, with pale spots inside. A black disc holds it up. It is 14 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.

A quiet gray coat with a golden brooch.
