Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Smoky olive with a single diagonal seam across the crown, neat as a hat brim.

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. Stout oval on a black foot in dark olive-grey with a fine mineral grain. A sharp slanted line cuts across the top, separating a tan cap with a small dark streak. The lower body is plain, with a soft sheen. It is 9 inches high and 6 in diameter.

A jaunty cap, sensibly worn at a slant.
