Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Aubergine-dark, wonderfully glossy, with a faintly dented shoulder.

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. Plum-black oval polished to a glassy shine, standing a little off-balance. The upper surface shows soft dips and ripples, and a single bright reflection sits on the left. The form swells gently through the middle. It is 11.25 inches high and 5.75 in diameter.

Gloss like wet paint, and a dimple or two.
