Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Smoky brown and long, with a worn, crumbly patch near its heel.

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. Faint circular lines show on the upper face, a dark red band caps the top, and a rough, crusty area spreads over the lower right. A tall, narrow oval in dark gray-brown with a subtle gloss. It is 12 inches high and 5.75 in diameter.

Weathered at one corner, but standing straight.
