What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a new dzi bead, not an antique. It measures 57.8 mm along its long axis and 13.2 mm at its widest point — a long, full-size barrel with gently tapered ends, the classic proportion for a large dzi worn alone on a cord or set as the centrepiece of a mala or bracelet. The ground is dark brown agate that reads close to black across much of the barrel, especially in the photographs, and opens into a lighter, more visibly brown tone in places, as in image 2. At the tips the stone turns translucent, and in the angled end views (images 5 and 6) both ends glow a warm honey-amber where the light passes through the agate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe surface is smooth and evenly polished to a bright, high gloss, with clean, sharply defined cream-white motif lines. This crisp finish and uniform shine are what you expect from new production, and the bead is presented as exactly that: a well-made modern dzi, sold as new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe motif is a four eye variant. Four cream-white eyes, each a ring around a dark centre, are distributed around the barrel rather than lined up on a single face, so the bead shows a different arrangement from every side. On one face a single eye sits at the centre between a forked, Y-shaped line and a diagonal divider (image 1); on another, two eyes sit on opposite edges of the barrel, one low near one end and one high in a curved frame near the other (image 3); and on the fourth face two eyes appear side by side, one in a framed panel and one a smaller oval (image 4). Curving and diagonal cream lines run between the eyes, dividing the surface into panels, and two cream bands close the design at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat sets this bead apart from a standard four eye is the star: a single small, solid cream dot near the end bands, shown clearly in image 2. It is a small element, but it is deliberate, and it gives this variant its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth drill holes are centred in the tips and are clean and functional. The bead is in excellent new condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Four Eye Variant with Star\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the dzi tradition the number of eyes carries meaning, and four eyes are associated with the four directions and the four elements — earth, water, fire and air — held in balance. Four eye dzi are traditionally worn for stability, for clearing obstacles from one's path, and for steady progress in work and in life, with the four eyes looking outward in every direction at once. On this bead the eyes are literally spread around the whole circumference, so that wherever the bead is turned, an eye faces outward. The star adds a further note: a single bright point set apart from the eyes, commonly read as a guiding light and a sign of good fortune and clear direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Eye Variant with Star — four cream-white eyes distributed around the barrel, framed and divided by curving and diagonal cream lines, with a forked Y-shaped element on one face; a single solid cream star dot near one end; two cream bands at each end\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57.8 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long barrel with tapered ends\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural agate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark brown to black agate ground; cream-white motif; translucent honey-amber tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-gloss polish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTier:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e New production\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent.
