Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Creamy gray, with an amber and maroon cap tilted to one side like a beret.

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. Smooth and slightly pear-shaped, the oval is a pale gray-white with a satin finish. A tilted cap of golden amber and dark red covers the top, with tiny red flecks trailing from it. A red mark sits near the base. It is 14 inches high and 7.25 in diameter.

Jaunty headwear, held steady at an angle.
