What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a round bead the tiger tooth has no fixed face — and on this one, the rose-red ground makes the dark bands look different at every turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe agate is an unusual warm rose-red to dusty terracotta, rather than the grey, cream or brown of most tiger tooth dzi — somewhere between soft brick-red and muted rose, chalky-warm in the lighter areas and deepening to plum-brown where the bands gather. The high-gloss polish deepens both, so the contrast shifts with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiger tooth is formed by deep chocolate to plum-brown diagonal bands wrapping the surface. From one face they read as clean chevrons; turn the bead and they become flowing curves; from the drill axis they circle the crown in concentric arcs. No two views are the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is a gently irregular ovoid, slightly taller than wide, with a natural, pebble-like silhouette. The drilling is clean. Minor natural inclusions sit within the stone. No cracks or chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a new bead, made within roughly the last 20 years using the traditional dzi crafting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Tiger Tooth Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiger tooth (tasso) is one of the foundational dzi motifs, standing for the tiger's protective strength and courage. In Tibetan tradition the tiger is one of the Four Dignities, a symbol of confidence and grounded, wakeful power. The bold banding is worn to guard the wearer and bring inner strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tiger Tooth (tasso)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.0mm × 17.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round to ovoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate, rose-red to terracotta with chocolate to plum-brown banding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, made 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; minor natural inclusions\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-062926-TT\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\/round-beads\"\u003eRound 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-round-wave-tiger-tooth-dzi-bead-at-111325-wtt\"\u003eAntique Round Wave and Tiger Tooth Dzi (At-111325-WTT)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/ancient-round-tiger-tooth-dzi-bead-ac-021724-tt\"\u003eAncient Round Tiger Tooth Dzi (Ac-021724-TT)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-tiger-tooth-dzi-pair-bloodspots-n-062426-ttbs\"\u003eNew Tiger Tooth Dzi Pair with Bloodspots (N-062426-TTBS)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-pair-of-round-tiger-tooth-dzi-beads-with-extreme-bloodspots\"\u003eNew Pair of Round Tiger Tooth Dzi with Bloodspots (N-062926-TTBS2)\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\/dzi-motifs-and-their-interpretations-other-motifs\"\u003eDzi Bead Motifs and Their Meanings\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\u003eFive unretouched photographs on a white background, including views of the drill ends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44008286879910,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/20230312_150006_36ea6feb-0098-4e8e-941f-2cc058e2be95.jpg?v=1788936882","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/en-tw\/products\/new-round-tiger-tooth-motif-dzi-bead-red-tint","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
