Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Deep oxblood body with pale sand cutouts at the edges, like paint chipped off a doorframe.

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. Tall and straight-sided, the oval is polished deep red-brown with a bright arch of reflection near the top. Ragged cream patches break the edge on both sides, and a thin black ring supports the base. It is 8.5 inches high and 4 in diameter.

Weathered at the edges and happy to say so.
