Four Eye Motif, 40.2×11.0mm, dark brown and pitch-black agate (N-090225-4E2)

🔍 Unretouched photos. 📐 Dimensions verified. ✅ Described from direct observation.

This bead is the companion to N-082825-4E — the same construction, the same two-zone colour, and nearly the same size, with a marginally slimmer diameter.

This is a new Taiwan-crafted dzi bead in natural agate, carrying the Four Eye motif in cream-white lines against a two-zone ground. The end caps are a warm dark brown — confirmed from the white-background photographs in Images 6 and 7. Moving in from each end, the ground deepens into a flat, dense pitch-black through the central body of the bead — also confirmed from the white-background photographs. As with its sibling, this transition gives the bead a layered quality from end to end, distinct from a single uniform ground colour.

The Four Eye motif is built from a single eye ring paired with a flowing S-curve line, repeating four times around the full circumference of the bead. Images 2 through 5 document four such rotations, each showing the same eye-and-curve unit shifting slightly as the line sweeps differently around the bead's surface. Held and turned continuously, the four units link into one unbroken flowing pattern circling the bead — identical in construction to its companion piece.

At 40.2mm in length and 11.0mm in diameter, this bead is nearly matched to its sibling (40.1×11.4mm) — the same length almost to the decimal, with a marginally slimmer profile. The form is a standard barrel with gently tapered ends. The drill holes are visible in Images 6 and 7, set within the dark brown end zones with standard, clean drilling. No cracks or chips are present — this is my own observation from all six photo angles.

The Four Eye Motif

The four eye dzi is believed to remove obstacles and hindrances from the wearer's path, smoothing the way toward success and easing the achievement of goals. Four is associated in Tibetan numerology with stability and the four cardinal directions, lending this motif a grounding, clearing quality. The flowing line connecting each eye suggests the continuous removal of obstacles along a path, rather than a single static blessing. Paired with its companion bead, this piece continues the same symbolic tradition.
