Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Cream body with one big maroon oval on the shoulder, like a surprised eye.

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. Broad and smooth, the oval is pale putty gray with a soft sheen. A large glossy maroon ellipse sits high on the front, and a smaller maroon lozenge floats below it. A dark red wedge hugs the lower right edge. It is 10 inches high and 6 in diameter.

Watching the room with remarkable steadiness.
