Ancient Round Double Wave Motif Dzi Bead

Ancient Round Double Wave Motif Dzi Bead

This bead is adorned with the Double Wave Motif. The Wave Motif is believed to bring never-ending success to its wearer.

This bead measures 17.7 mm x 18.2 mm. It is an old bead, estimated to be between 500 to 1000 years old. It is a "water bead", meaning it was excavated from near a water source. Water Beads have very distinctive wear to their surfaces affecting the etchings on them as well.

The bead material is high quality natural agate.

There are visible cracklines on the surface, but the structural integrity of the bead is not compromised.
