Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Sandy bands below, a plum cap above, and a single pinhole in it.

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. Soft horizontal layers of tan and cream run around the body, and a deep plum-red cap covers the top, holding one small dark pit near its edge. A rounded oval with a high shine. It is 12.5 inches high and 8 in diameter.

Layered like a good sandwich and just as sound.
