Indian Iron Tantric Lingam
About this piece
Blush-pink shoulders over a dark chocolate skirt striped like layered cake.
This tantric lingam is from Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is quartz crystal & iron. The article describes Banalinga as chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz with iron oxide deposits, and says scholars link their naturally occurring markings, considered spiritually auspicious, to meteoric iron. Rounded oval on a black disc. The upper body is dusty pink with a maroon cap, while the lower half turns dark brown with thin horizontal ridges and ragged edges where the two zones meet. Highlights are bright and glossy. It is 9 inches high and 5 in diameter.
Two outfits in one, changed at the waist.
