Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Olive green and scratched with a thousand little lines, yet round, calm, and easy to like.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The word Tantric is Sanskrit for to expand, and Tantra is described as a form of religious practice combining ritual, art, science and philosophy, overlaid on Hinduism and Buddhism. Rendered as a broad, rounded oval with a tilted crown. The olive-green surface carries a satin sheen and a fine web of tiny scratches. A curved pale band sweeps across the lower middle, and a dark brown streak lies near the base. It is 10.75 inches high and 7 in diameter.

Scuffs worn with the ease of a well-loved pebble.
