Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Cream, tan and rust streaks run down the body like candle drippings frozen in time.
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. Overall it is a tall polished oval with a creamy pale left side and a darker band of brown and orange streaks running vertically on the right. Hairline fissures and small red specks mark the surface, and a black disc supports the foot. It is 10.25 inches high and 5.25 in diameter.
Flowing lines, caught mid-stream and politely held there.
