Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Pale oatmeal, banded at the crown, with a golden pool in the middle.

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. Slender oval on a black base in pale grey-cream. The top carries stacked bands of rust, ochre and tan. A round golden-brown patch rimmed in dark red sits low on the front, with thin curling lines drifting off it. It is 9.25 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

A tiny sunset, hung low and quite pleased with itself.
