Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Burnished crimson-brown, round-shouldered and bright as a polished apple.

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. Broad, almost egg-shaped body in deep reddish brown. Two glossy highlights glow near the top and a darker plum tone gathers on the right. The skin is perfectly continuous, with no cracks, bands or patches. It is 8.75 inches high and 5.25 in diameter.

Plump, glowing and blissfully free of ornament.
