Close-up photograph of a small green translucent stone Shiva lingam resting on a pale cloth. The lingam has a cylindrical upright form rising from a rounded yoni-style base with a spout-like projection on one side, and a small reddish mark on its lower body. Soft shadows fall across the cloth around it.

A small black and orange Shivling sits alone on a plain yellow surface. The compact lingam has a black base with a rounded ring, a black shaft, and an orange-tinted top, with an orange tip on a side element, possibly a small sculpted form. No people are present; the object is a ritual Shiva lingam used as a childhood puja item in the archive's collection.
