Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Pale gray midsection, maroon top, and a maroon base like matching bookends.

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. Dark red covers the dome at the top in a crisp curved line, and a short band of the same red hugs the base. A tidy oval with a smooth, even surface in cool gray-beige. It is 7.75 inches high and 4.5 in diameter.

Crisply banded and perfectly composed.
