Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Dark chocolate and mirror-glossy, with a red-brown crown that fits like a beret.
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. Built as a rounded oval in deep brown, polished to a bright shine. A band of reddish brown covers the top, ending in a soft ragged line at the shoulder. The lower body is a calm, matte brown, and a thin black ring sits beneath. It is 10.25 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.
Tidy, glossy, and utterly composed from head to foot.
