Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Dark, round and quietly lustrous, like a loaf that decided to become a monument.

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. Shaped as a rotund oval with a smooth pointed crown and fuller lower body. The black surface has a deep satin finish, with two softly merged highlights above the middle. Faint cloudy dullness appears around the lower left. It is 12.5 inches high and 7.5 in diameter.

Its confidence comes from sheer, uncomplicated roundness.
