Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

A creamy pale egg with a dark red helmet and one stray splash.

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. Tall oval of cream and light olive, with a smooth, slightly chalky look. A deep red cap covers the crown, and a rounded red blotch sits low on the front. Tiny dark speckling drifts across the shoulder. Black round stand. It is 13.75 inches high and 7 in diameter.

Quiet and pale, but it did not skip the accessories.
