One face presents a single centred eye — a dark pupil enclosed in a cream iris, set within a broad cream field framed by vertical bars. The opposing face carries the remaining two eyes side by side, their cream rings nearly touching at the centre line, the dark pupils reading as a pair. Neither face is a repetition of the other. The composition only fully declares itself after the bead has been turned all the way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cream zones on this bead are broad and dominant, consistent with the same crafting generation as the double wave pieces offered alongside it. The black ground lines cut through wide cream fields rather than the reverse, giving the motif an open, expansive character. The cream itself is warm rather than stark white — a deep, aged cream-tan that has taken on some warmth over its estimated 200–400 years of age. The vertical bar separators flanking each eye composition are clearly defined, and the ring construction of each eye is precise, with the outer boundary crisp against the surrounding cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 48.4mm with a fusiform profile, this bead sits comfortably alongside the full-sized antique barrels in this collection. The surface carries a smooth, well-settled patina consistent with genuine antique age. No cracks are present in the photos. The drill end caps show a warm reddish-brown tone distinct from the darker body — the natural colour of the agate at the tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bead is offered as part of a group of three antique pieces from the same crafting tradition and estimated age range — the other two are double wave dzi (At-090226-DW6 and At-090226-DW7). All three share the same broad cream zones, the same dark body ground, and the same smooth, aged surface character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Three Eye Motif\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe three-eye dzi is among the most traditionally significant of all dzi motifs, associated in Tibetan belief with the wealth deity Kubera and the three sources of prosperity — material abundance, spiritual merit, and the fulfilment of wishes. Historically worn by Tibetan traders, nobles, and practitioners as a talisman of fortune and protection, the three-eye dzi remains one of the most sought-after motifs in the dzi tradition and one of the most immediately recognisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three Eye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48.4mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.9mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel, fusiform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate — dark body with warm reddish-brown natural colour at the drill-end caps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200–400 years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth aged patina; no cracks visible in photos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e At-090226-3E2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/authentic-antique-dzi\"\u003eAntique Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/all-products\"\u003eAll Products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the same crafting group:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-double-wave-dzi-bead-black-agate-49mm-at-090226-dw6\"\u003eAt-090226-DW6 — Antique Double Wave, 49.4×11.8mm, black agate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-double-wave-dzi-bead-black-agate-48mm-at-090226-dw7\"\u003eAt-090226-DW7 — Antique Double Wave, 48.8×12.1mm, black agate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore antique three eye dzi:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-three-eye-dzi-bead-warm-brown-at-053126-3e\"\u003eAt-053126-3E — Antique Three Eye, warm brown\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-three-eye-tiger-tooth-dzi-46-2mm-at-061926-3ett\"\u003eAt-061926-3ETT — Antique Three Eye Tiger Tooth, 46.2×12.9mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-three-eye-dzi-bead-dark-brown-black-agate-50mm-at-090226-3e3\"\u003eAt-090226-3E3 — Antique Three Eye, 50mm, dark brown-black\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more about dzi beads:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/the-three-eye-dzi-bead-symbolism-and-significance\"\u003eThe Three-Eye Dzi Bead: Meaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\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 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery bead at Ancient Dzi Shop is photographed unretouched — no filters, no colour correction, no digital enhancement.
