Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Cherry red and caramel, with a wavy tan line hugging the shoulders like a necklace.

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. Compact and rounded, the oval glows in glossy red-brown, with bright highlights at the shoulders. A wavy golden band runs across the upper third, and the lower body shades to a bright orange-red. It is 13.25 inches high and 8 in diameter.

Candy-apple confidence, polished until it nearly blinks.
