Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Dark gray-green, a rusty cap on top, and a dripping dark fringe at its hem.

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. An upright oval in smoky gray with a velvety surface. A red-brown cap sits across the crown, and a ragged band of dark green-black lines drips along the lower body. It is 8.25 inches high and 5 in diameter.

A fringe of drips adds a little swagger.
