Indian Iron Tantric Lingam

Slate-olive with a faded red target at the crown and a bold dash in the middle.

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. Rising tall and slim, the oval carries a muted green-gray surface with a gentle shine. A rounded red-brown ring marks the top, a short red dash crosses the middle, and a darker red patch sits low on the left. It is 31 inches high and 13.75 in diameter.

A few quiet marks, placed with careful restraint.
