Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Taupe and understated, apart from a rusty lattice scrawled across the shoulders.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. In Tantric tradition the body of a lingam is taken to stand for male energy, described as knowledge, while its markings represent female energy, described as wisdom. Thin red lines cross near the top in a loose, branching pattern, like frost marks drawn in rust. A smooth gray-brown oval with a soft polish and faint surface scratches. It is 10.25 inches high and 5.75 in diameter.

Quiet all over, with one tangle of excitement on top.
