Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Dark mahogany from head to toe, as smooth as a lacquered violin.
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. Essentially it is a tapered, evenly shaped oval in deep reddish brown with a glossy surface and a single window highlight on the upper left. A small orange patch sits at the crown. The finish is clean and nearly unmarked. It is 11.75 inches high and 6.25 in diameter.
All gloss and grace, with a speck of orange for mischief.
