Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Smooth olive-brown with one thin orange-red line drawn across the shoulders like a ribbon.

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. Presented as a tapered, almost bullet-shaped oval in an even olive brown. A narrow red-orange band runs across the upper third, slightly broken in places. The surface is glassy and clean, with a small shadowy patch near the base. It is 16 inches high and 8.5 in diameter.

A single bold line, drawn with total self-assurance.
