Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Sandy rose with a rust crown, like a loaf with a burnt top.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Brahmin villages along a short part of the river traditionally gathered lingams from shallow water in the dry season, then shaped and hand-polished them, sometimes for as long as a year. Plump oval in dusty pink-tan. A reddish-brown cap spreads over the upper end with ragged lower edges, and a few small dark patches show on the left. A faint curved crack runs across the middle. It is 9.25 inches high and 5.5 in diameter.

Baked slowly and delivered without a single complaint.
