Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Charcoal black and smooth, tapering a bit like a plum.

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. Compact oval in dark black with a satin surface, slightly narrower toward the top. A pale reflection catches the crown and the body fades to near-black below. The shape reads as a single continuous curve. It is 7.5 inches high and 4.25 in diameter.

Compact, calm, and extremely well finished.
