Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Cream-colored dome with a maroon cap pulled down firmly over its head.

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. Seen as a stout egg shape in pale buff, with soft yellow stains and many fine scratches across the face. A dark maroon cap covers the top with a clean, almost horizontal lower edge. It is 10.5 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.

Dressed for a brisk day, hat securely on.
