Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Olive green and cracked like a dry riverbed, with a long dark seam down the front.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. In Tantric tradition the body of a lingam is taken to stand for male energy, described as knowledge, while its markings represent female energy, described as wisdom. Built as a broad oval in smoky olive green, with a smooth matte polish. A dark vertical crack runs from a horizontal fissure near the crown, which is patched with a brown, slightly rougher area. A reddish blush shows at the right shoulder. It is 9.25 inches high and 5.5 in diameter.

Honestly cracked, and not remotely embarrassed about it.
