Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Dark green outside, with a lacy maroon heart patterned like a doily.

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. Stout oval on a black foot. The deep green-grey surround holds a large maroon panel patterned with olive and yellow lace-like rings and small black dots. The panel has a glossy sheen and an irregular outline. It is 9.25 inches high and 4.75 in diameter.

Fine lace, worked by water and a great deal of time.
