Five Eye Motif, 40.5×11.4mm, very dark brown agate (N-091025-5E)

We never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.

This bead splits its five eyes unevenly — two on one face, three on the other — with a wave pattern filling the turn between them.

It is a new Taiwan dzi in natural agate, carrying the Five Eye motif in bold cream-white on a very deep dark brown ground that reads nearly black, with a faint warm undertone where it meets the cream. The rings and dividers are crisp and evenly proportioned.

One face carries two eyes between vertical dividers; the opposite face carries three in a row. Between them runs a continuous wave or zigzag band along the bead. Turned in the hand, it shifts from two eyes to waves to three eyes to waves again.

The form is a standard barrel with rounded, tapered ends. The drill holes (Images 6 and 7) are clean, with the dark body lightening to a warm honey-brown around them. Smooth, well-finished surface; no cracks or chips.

This is a new bead, made in Taiwan within roughly the last 20 years using the traditional dzi crafting technique.

The Five Eye Motif

The Five Eye dzi (五眼天珠) is associated with the blessings of Kubera, deity of wealth and guardian of the north, and is said to bring lasting good fortune, long life and contentment. Five is linked with the five elements and five directions. The wave adds the meaning of flowing, continuous fortune — good luck that is not only attracted but kept in motion.
