What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe two eyes on this bead don't share the same form. On one face the eye is a C-shape — a bold cream arc that opens rather than closes, framing a zone of the deep charcoal grey-brown ground rather than enclosing it fully. On the opposite face the eye is a complete spiral ring, fully closed, reading as a conventional concentric form. The two eyes are recognisably the same motif — same scale, same confident etching — and yet they read differently at every rotation. The connecting faces carry the lines between them: flowing cream curves tracking across the body as the composition moves from one eye to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bead has an oval rather than circular cross-section, visible in both the angled end-view photographs and the flatter face shot. At 45.4mm long, 13.8mm at its widest and 12.0mm at its shallowest, the profile is slightly compressed on one axis — not dramatically, but enough that the flat face produces a visibly different reading of the cream motif lines than the rounder faces do. On the flatter face the lines spread across a wider, lower surface and the contrast with the ground softens slightly; on the rounder faces the cream lines curve over a higher arc and read with more visual punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe ground colour confirmed from all four white-background lateral shots is a deep charcoal grey-brown — a cool, slightly greyed dark brown that sits between warm brown and true grey without fully committing to either. The cream motif lines are bold against it throughout. The etching is crisp and well-preserved, with no erosion of the line edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBoth drill holes are small and clean, visible in the angled end photographs. The end caps carry the same charcoal grey-brown as the body, with no dramatic colour shift at the tips. No cracks are present. The surface shows age-consistent weathering marks, fine and even, without any structural compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis bead is sold as a single piece.

Two eyes on a single bead are understood to carry the energy of the Buddha of Compassion and Medicine, supporting both relationships and wellbeing. A two eye bead is considered suitable for almost any wearer and almost any occasion, making it one of the most consistently revered pieces across the full spectrum of dzi collecting traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Eye — C-shape form on one face, closed spiral ring on opposite face\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.4mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.8mm (widest) × 12.0mm (shallowest) — oval cross-section\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel, oval cross-section\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural agate — deep charcoal grey-brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500–700 years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good.
