Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Burgundy continents drift across a gray-green sea, with a bit of mottled texture in the shallows.
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. Rounded out as a tall, rounded oval in muted gray-green. A large irregular burgundy patch, finely speckled, spreads from the crown down the left side in a lumpy outline. Small isolated burgundy spots dot the right, and a black disc holds the base. It is 13 inches high and 7 in diameter.
A whole atlas, minus the labels.
