Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Brick and rose, laced with fine white veins like a cracked glaze.

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. Hairline white veins cross the upper half, and dark mottled patches appear lower down. A tall, narrow oval in reddish-brown and pink, with a glossy surface. The form bows outward in an easy arc. It is 8.25 inches high and 4 in diameter.

Veined and flushed, looking rather pleased.
