Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Red patches wander the surface like continents on a very small globe.

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. Slender ovoid in pale gray-tan, polished smooth. Maroon areas crown the top in two lobes and form a long, irregular drip down the lower front. A few rust specks and fine scratches show on the cream ground. It is 9 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.
