Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Slate black and satin smooth, with a calm sheen that refuses to show off.

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. Cut as a slender oval in charcoal black with a softer, slightly dusty polish. A vertical highlight runs along the upper left, and faint pale scuffs speckle the lower body. The outline is clean and perfectly rounded at both ends. It is 8.5 inches high and 4 in diameter.

Restraint, polished to a very fine point.
