Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Peach-toned and scratched all over in fine lines, with a red scribble across the shoulder.

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. Formed as a tall oval in warm apricot and sand, polished to a silky shine. A crumbly band of red-orange veining crosses the upper curve. Numerous short, pale scratches scatter over the surface, with a few dark hairline marks on the lower right. It is 8.75 inches high and 5 in diameter.

Plenty of scribbles, all of them part of the charm.
