Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Nearly black and glossy, with a ragged red wisp across its brow.

This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. Brahmin villages along a short part of the river traditionally gathered lingams from shallow water in the dry season, then shaped and hand-polished them, sometimes for as long as a year. Built as a tall, dark oval polished to a mirror-like gleam, deep green-black in tone. A narrow irregular strip of red and tan marking sits at the top edge, broken and streaky. It is 10.25 inches high and 5.75 in diameter.

Dark, glossy, and mysteriously well-kept.
