Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Greyish green with a rusty smear low down, like a faded horizon.

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. Narrow oval in mossy grey-green. A faint arch of tan and an uneven rust-colored band cross the lower middle, as if a landscape had been sketched in light pencil. Fine pale speckles dot the otherwise even surface. It is 8.5 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

A quiet landscape, drawn very lightly and left alone.
