Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Gray-green and calm, with a crimson crown that has a hole punched through it.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The word Tantric is Sanskrit for to expand, and Tantra is described as a form of religious practice combining ritual, art, science and philosophy, overlaid on Hinduism and Buddhism. Formed as a tall oval in pale gray-green with a matte finish. A thick cap of crimson covers the top and trails down the left side, broken by a ragged pale opening. Small marks dot the surface, and a faint scratch runs along the bottom. It is 10.5 inches high and 5.5 in diameter.

Mostly peaceful, except for that red top hat.
