Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Mossy green-bronze, freckled with black dots and one big maroon stain.

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. Wide oval in olive green with a bronze sheen. A large irregular maroon patch with olive swirls fills the lower front. Small black pits and spots are scattered above it, and a crack runs near the top right. It is 9 inches high and 5.5 in diameter.

Freckled, stained and endlessly smug about both.
