What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis bead measures 41.5 mm along its long axis and 11.7 mm at its widest point — a classic elongated barrel that swells gently through the middle and tapers to rounded tips. The ground is dark brown agate. In the photographs it can read close to black, because the camera compresses the deepest browns, but in hand and in daylight the bead is clearly brown, not black. The proof is at the tips: in the two angled end views (images 5 and 6) the agate around each drill hole turns translucent, and the light passing through it shows the true color of the stone — a warm, clear brown. That same brown runs through the whole body of the bead; it is simply too dense to show through except at the thin ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe motif is the two eye. Each long face carries a single eye — a cream-white ring around a dark brown pupil — and the two eyes sit toward opposite ends of the bead, so that turning it over brings the second eye into view near the other tip (compare images 1 and 3). Each eye is partly enclosed by a curved cream frame, and on the sides of the bead (images 2 and 4) those two frames meet in a stepped S-curve that divides the surface into two interlocking halves, one for each eye. The composition is completed by plain cream bands toward each end: a pair at one end and a group of three at the other. The cream lines are clean and evenly toned, with soft, slightly diffused edges where the white meets the brown, the way the etched decoration on old dzi settles into the stone over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe surface carries a fine, even polish from long handling. Under the light it shows scattered small weathering marks — tiny pits and crater-like flecks that catch the light as pale specks, visible most clearly across the dark zones in images 1, 2 and 3. These marks form slowly as the surface of the agate ages and are a normal and welcome feature of genuine antique dzi; they are part of what gives an old bead its settled, lived-in surface rather than the uniform shine of new production. There are no bloodspots on this bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth drill holes are centered in the tips and are functional. The bead is in good condition, with the motif intact on both faces and no cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Two Eye Motif\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the Tibetan dzi tradition, the eye motif is the most recognized of all the designs, and the number of eyes carries meaning. Two eyes are traditionally associated with harmony and balance — between partners, within a household, and between one's own inner and outer life. On this bead the idea is made visual: the two eyes face opposite directions on opposite faces, each held in its own frame, while the single S-curve line joins those frames into one continuous design, so that the two halves complete each other rather than standing apart. Two eye dzi have long been worn for a harmonious marriage and family life, for good relationships, and for steady, balanced fortune.\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 Two Eye — one cream-white eye with dark pupil on each long face, the eyes set toward opposite ends; each eye partly framed by a curved cream line, the frames joined by a stepped S-curve on the sides; cream end bands (two at one end, three at the other)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.7 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elongated barrel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural agate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark brown agate ground (photographs near-black; brown in hand and in daylight, confirmed by the translucent brown tips); cream-white motif\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique — 200–400 years\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good.
