{"product_id":"antique-five-eye-dzi-bead-blue-tint-dark-brown-at-072326-5e","title":"Five Eye Motif, 39.8×13.2mm, Dark Brown Agate, Two Blue-Tint Eyes (At-072326-5E)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree of the five eyes on this bead are warm cream. The other two are not: they carry a distinct blue-white tint, cooler and brighter than the rest, on the face where the pair sits beneath a broad arching connector. Same form, same dark brown ground, different colour — and the difference is clear in every photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eyes are arranged three and two. The main face carries three in a row — concentric cream rings with dark brown pupils, evenly spaced. Turn the bead over and the remaining two appear side by side beneath a cream arch that links them into one composition. Their blue-white tone is natural variation within the agate, not a treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two connecting faces carry flowing cream wave lines — two parallel curves moving unhurriedly across the dark ground — giving the bead a steady rhythm all the way round: eyes, waves, eyes, waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground is a deep, warm dark brown throughout, richest at the centre and warming to orange-tan at both drill ends, the natural colour of the agate. No part reads as pitch-black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is good for its age, with no cracks or chips and a natural antique surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Five Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Five Eye dzi (五眼天珠) is one of the most sought-after designs in the Tibetan tradition. Five eyes are associated with the five Dhyani Buddhas — Vairochana, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha and Amoghasiddhi — and with the five elements, five wisdoms and five directions. Wearing a five eye dzi is understood to place the wearer under the protection of all five Buddha families, each eye representing a different quality of awakened awareness. It is considered especially auspicious for those devoted to spiritual practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five Eye (五眼天珠); three warm cream eyes on one face, two blue-tint eyes beneath an arch on the other; wave lines on the connecting faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate, deep warm dark brown with orange-tan ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, estimated 100–300 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good; no cracks or chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e At-072326-5E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/authentic-antique-dzi\"\u003eAntique Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYou May Also Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-five-eye-kubera-dzi-bead-pitch-black-at-072625-5e\"\u003eAntique Five Eye Kubera Dzi, Pitch-Black (At-072625-5E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-tibetan-five-eye-dzi-bead-48mm-dark-brown-black-at-100926-5e2\"\u003eAntique Five Eye Dzi, Dark Brown-Black (At-100926-5E2)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/three-diamond-eye-tiger-tooth-carnelian-dzi-terracotta-at-053126-3dett\"\u003eThree Diamond Eye and Tiger Tooth Carnelian Dzi (At-053126-3DETT)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-six-eye-dzi-bead-honey-gold-dark-brown-at-053026-6e\"\u003eAntique Six Eye Dzi with Honey-Gold End Caps (At-053026-6E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-eye-dzi-bead-53mm-dark-brown-agate-200-400yr-at-070626-9e\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi, Deep Dark Brown (At-070626-9E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/the-five-eye-dzi-bead-symbolism-and-significance\"\u003eThe Five Eye Dzi Bead: Symbolism and Significance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/dzi-motifs-and-their-interpretations-other-motifs\"\u003eDzi Bead Motifs and Their Meanings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix unretouched photographs; colour and surface detail are exactly as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56862235426982,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/antique_tibetan_five_eye_dzi_1.jpg?v=1788944067","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/en-tw\/products\/antique-five-eye-dzi-bead-blue-tint-dark-brown-at-072326-5e","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
