{"product_id":"vintage-four-eye-motif-dzi-bead-v-070226-4e2","title":"Vintage Four Eye Motif Dzi Bead, 53.9×11.6mm, Black Agate (V-070226-4E2)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e✅ Authenticity Guaranteed | ✅ 30-Day Returns | ✅ Worldwide Shipping\u003cbr\u003eAll photos below are unretouched, taken against a plain white background to show this bead's true colour and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOn this bead, the cream lines connecting each eye don't move in stepped right angles — they curve and loop, tracing soft S-shapes across the black ground rather than a hard geometric grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is a genuine vintage dzi bead, hand-carved and etched in Taiwan during the 1980s — real age, even if it sits outside the antique and ancient tiers elsewhere in this collection. The ground here is confirmed black from these flat-lit white-background photos, a true black rather than a deep brown that only reads dark in photos. Against that black, the cream lines sit in high contrast, tracing both the eye motifs and the connecting curved bands that link them around the bead's circumference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bead is a classic barrel form, drilled through the centre. As it turns, the composition shifts: some faces show the eyes clearly, framed in concentric cream rings against the black ground, while other faces show only the connecting curved lines, without an eye in view at all — worth examining from multiple rotations to see the full pattern rather than reading it from a single angle. The high gloss finish and cream-white tone at the drilled ends both support agate as the material, consistent with this shop's verification standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNo cracks are visible anywhere along this bead's length in these photos. Some very light, expected surface wear consistent with genuine age is present, but nothing that affects the bead's structure or clarity. No bloodspots are present on this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Four Eye Motif\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Four Eye motif is one of the most recognized symbolic patterns in dzi bead tradition, associated with the clearing of obstacles and hindrances and an easier path toward success for its wearer. On this piece, the eyes are joined by continuous curved bands rather than straight connecting lines, giving the pattern a more fluid, flowing character than the stepped version seen on some other Four Eye beads in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four Eye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53.9mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.6mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage — Taiwan, 1980s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cracks visible; light age-consistent surface wear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (Tier 1)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-070226-4E2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/vintage-dzi-beads\"\u003eVintage Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/new-dzi\"\u003eNew \u0026amp; Vintage Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIts companion piece: \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/vintage-four-eye-motif-dzi-bead-v-070226-4e\"\u003eV-070226-4E\u003c\/a\u003e — same Four Eye motif family, same shoot date, distinct pattern (stepped connecting lines, dark brown ground) and distinct colour (this piece is black).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLearn more about dzi bead history and symbolism: \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/what-are-dzi-beads\"\u003eWhat Are Dzi Beads?\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/what-makes-a-dzi-bead-authentic\"\u003eWhat Makes a Dzi Bead Authentic?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA genuine piece of 1980s Taiwanese dzi craftsmanship, clean, uncracked, and ready for its next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e✅ Authenticity Guaranteed | ✅ 30-Day Returns | ✅ Worldwide Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAll photos are of the exact bead you will receive — unretouched, shot against a plain white background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHashtags:\u003c\/strong\u003e #DziBead #VintageDzi #FourEyeDzi #TaiwanDzi #AgateDzi #TibetanDzi #DziBeadCollector #AncientDziShop #DziJewelry #HandCarvedAgate #DziAmulet #BuddhistBead #DziMotif #EightySeries #AuthenticDzi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43981799686310,"sku":"","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/20220710_225826.jpg?v=1782986275","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/vintage-four-eye-motif-dzi-bead-v-070226-4e2","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
