What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bead splits its five eyes unevenly — two on one face, three on the other — with a wave pattern filling the turn between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a new Taiwan dzi in natural agate, carrying the Five Eye motif in bold cream-white on a very deep dark brown ground that reads nearly black, with a faint warm undertone where it meets the cream. The rings and dividers are crisp and evenly proportioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne face carries two eyes between vertical dividers; the opposite face carries three in a row. Between them runs a continuous wave or zigzag band along the bead. Turned in the hand, it shifts from two eyes to waves to three eyes to waves again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a standard barrel with rounded, tapered ends. The drill holes (Images 6 and 7) are clean, with the dark body lightening to a warm honey-brown around them. Smooth, well-finished surface; no cracks or chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a new bead, made in Taiwan within roughly the last 20 years using the traditional dzi crafting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Five Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Five Eye dzi (五眼天珠) is associated with the blessings of Kubera, deity of wealth and guardian of the north, and is said to bring lasting good fortune, long life and contentment. Five is linked with the five elements and five directions. The wave adds the meaning of flowing, continuous fortune — good luck that is not only attracted but kept in motion.\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); two eyes on one face, three on the other, with wave bands between\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel with rounded, tapered ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate, very deep dark brown with honey-brown tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, made in Taiwan within roughly the last 20 years using the traditional dzi crafting technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 N-091025-5E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/new-dzi\"\u003eNew Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/taiwan-dzi\"\u003eTaiwan Dzi\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\/new-five-eye-motif-taiwan-dzi-bead-091125\"\u003eNew Five Eye Dzi, Companion Piece (N-091125-5E2)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-five-eye-dzi-bead-pitch-black-59mm-honey-ends-n-090626-5e2\"\u003eNew Five Eye Dzi with Honey Agate Ends (N-090626-5E2)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\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 (At-072625-5E)\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\/how-to-choose-a-dzi-bead-buying-guide\"\u003eHow to Choose a Dzi Bead: Buying Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix unretouched photographs: the two-eye face, three-eye face, wave rotations and two angled views of the drill ends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46656330367142,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/NewTaiwaneseDziBeadfeaturingtheFiveEyeMotif_1_08500fdc-85de-4f37-a392-5ea66ce30f24.jpg?v=1789067620","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/en-tw\/products\/new-five-eye-motif-taiwan-dzi-bead-091025","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
