Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Charcoal and olive, with a red eye-shaped slit on its lower belly.

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. Round oval in smoky brown-gray with veiled lighter patches and a satin polish. A leaf-shaped dark red mark with pale edges sits low on the front, and faint red flecks mark the shoulder. It is 12 inches high and 7.5 in diameter.

Dark and moody, with one watchful glance.
