Details: A quality example of an 11th to 12th century Khmer sandstone Yoni. The Yoni is the iconic form of Devi the Goddess, resembling the female generative organ; often shown united with the Lingam the iconic form of Shiva. The Lingam is a simple stylized phallus that nearly always rests on a stylized Yoni, or female sex organ. Together, the Lingam and Yoni represent the power of creative energy and fertility. The phallic symbol is the main object of worship in Shaivite temples throughout India and the Indic world. When being worshipped the lingam is honored by devotees with offerings of flowers, milk, pure water, fruit, leaves and rice. Age: 11th-12th Century. Height: 19 cm. Width: 27 cm. Remarks: The green hue in some of the photos is the sun reflecting off a green blind. I will update the images when I get more time.
