What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis bead is vintage, not antique.\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted before the year 2000 with a deliberate antique-style finish, it has since picked up over two decades of its own genuine age — and we want that distinction clear from the first line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis piece is the sister bead to V-FA-062026-9EDL, our diamond-lattice Nine Eye dzi: same maker, same era, same antique-style finishing technique, and the same rectilinear lattice construction — but built around a Six Eye Lotus motif instead. Where the Nine Eye piece sets small diamond eye forms within a grid of straight H-bar dividers, this bead arranges angular V-chevron petal forms in a radiating pattern that reads as a stylised lotus, with vertical stripe dividers framing each face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe ground colour is the same high-gloss, uniform black seen across the rest of this lattice family, with no warm-brown or olive transitional tones anywhere on the surface. The motif is rendered in the same matte, sandy-cream tone with a noticeably raised, stucco-like texture — a tactile surface quality that distinguishes this construction style from the smooth glossy fill of our S-meander Nine Eye and Seven Eye pieces. The chevron petals are angular and pointed rather than round, layered in nested V-shapes that converge toward a central axis on each face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBoth end caps are intact, finished in the same black ground colour with a cream ring band near each tip, and both drill openings are clean, round, and centred with no irregularities visible in any photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWe're disclosing all of this the same way we disclose the bead's overall age category: directly. This is not a centuries-old antique dzi. It was made with that visual tradition in mind, sometime before 2000, and what you're buying today is a piece that has now genuinely aged for twenty-plus years past its original finishing — different from both a brand-new reproduction and from a verified antique with documented centuries of provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn terms of form, the bead is a compact, broad-shouldered barrel, close in proportion to its sister piece — both noticeably shorter and wider than our S-meander Nine Eye and Seven Eye families. Surface gloss is even and consistent across all faces, with no cracks visible at any angle. No bloodspot inclusions are visible anywhere in this photo set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Six Eye Lotus Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn Tibetan dzi tradition, the Six Eye motif is associated with clearing away suffering and averting misfortune, principally through the qualities of sound judgment and clear-sighted decision-making that it's believed to encourage in its wearer. Paired here with the lotus — a symbol of purity rising clean from murky water throughout Buddhist iconography — the combined motif reinforces a single idea: clarity that holds steady even in difficult circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec Block\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six Eye Lotus (六眼蓮花天珠) — lattice construction; angular V-chevron petal forms in a radiating pattern, vertical stripe dividers \u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40.4mm \u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.6mm \u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, broad-shouldered barrel — closely matching the proportions of its sister piece, V-FA-062026-9EDL \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural agate; high-gloss uniform black ground; matte sandy-cream motif lines with raised, stucco-like texture \u003cstrong\u003eAge Estimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crafted before 2000 — vintage reproduction; not a genuine antique \u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e No cracks visible at any angle; both end-cap drill openings clean, round, and centred; surface gloss even throughout \u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None \u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-FA-062026-6ELL \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:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/vintage-dzi-beads\"\u003eVintage 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:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/six-eye-dzi\"\u003eSix Eye Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/lotus-motif-dzi\"\u003eLotus Motif Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking for the genuine article?\u003c\/strong\u003e We don't currently carry a genuine antique or ancient Six Eye Lotus piece for direct comparison.
