Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Mauve-grey with a red cap pulled down and a red heel at the bottom.
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. Elongated oval in pale grey with a faint pinkish cast. A dark maroon patch caps the upper right with a pointed notch, and a second blot sits at the base. Fine hairlines and a few small dark spots cross the matte surface. It is 9 inches high and 5.25 in diameter.
Dressed head to toe in red accessories, no further comment.
