Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Earthy and mottled, with a reddish crown that fades to brown.

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 rounded oval in dusky brown and tan, with a patchy matte-to-satin surface. The top carries a darker maroon cap with rough speckling, and gold-yellow tones show lower down. It is 8 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

Humble tones, worn like a favorite coat.
