Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Charcoal peppered with pale dots, like a night sky in a very small room.
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. Bulbous oval on a black disc in dark grey-black, finely sprinkled with pale specks. A faint reddish smear crosses the lower middle, and a hairline crack runs down the left. The finish is glossy with a twin highlight. It is 15.75 inches high and 10 in diameter.
A tiny night sky that stays up all day.
