Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Warm brown-red and smooth, like a conker that kept its polish.

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. Neat oval in an even reddish brown with faint darker mottling. A soft vertical highlight runs down the left side. The surface is clean and plain, with a small scuff or two near the lower curve. It is 11.75 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.

No patterns, no fuss, just a very good egg.
