On a round bead the three eyes have no fixed position — each eye sits on its own section of the continuous surface, and the composition shifts at every rotation. From one angle a diamond-form eye appears clearly within the broad cream field, its dark brown ring and inner pupil reading as a crisp, distinct motif element. Turned to the next position, a second eye comes into view with tiger tooth spots distributed around it. From the drill-end angles, the cream and dark zones resolve into large sweeping areas of contrasting colour, the motif's individual elements giving way to the bead's overall tonal pattern as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe colour palette on this piece is unusually varied for a round Taiwan dzi. The cream-white ground is broad, bright, and dominant across all faces. Within and alongside this pale ground, warm dark brown and reddish-brown elements form the eyes and tiger tooth accents. A distinctive cool grey — with a slight green undertone — appears in zones around the drill poles and in certain body areas, adding a third tonal register between the cream and the warm brown. The drill openings carry a vivid warm reddish-orange tone at their centres, contrasting with the cool grey of the surrounding pole zones. All colour zones are documented from the white-background photographs — the grey is confirmed as a genuine cool grey, not a shadow artifact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 21.2×15.4mm this bead is notably oblate — wider than it is tall, a flatter round form that sits differently in the hand than a more spherical bead. Fine age-consistent surface marks are present. No chips or cracks observed from available photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Three Eye Tiger Tooth Motif\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe three eye dzi is associated with the wealth deity Kubera and the three realms of existence — said to draw abundance, good fortune, and the fulfilment of material wishes. The tiger tooth element adds a protective dimension: the markings reference the tiger's power as a guardian and subjugator of harmful forces. Together, the three eye tiger tooth motif pairs the energy of prosperity with the energy of protection — wish-fulfilment under the watch of the tiger's unobstructed gaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec Block\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThree Eye Tiger Tooth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter × Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e21.2×15.4mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRound (oblate — wider than tall)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAgate (cool grey zones visible at drill poles;
