The ground is a deep dark brown, confirmed consistently across all six white-background rotation photos, with the cream-white eye rings and connecting stripes in high, even contrast throughout.\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. One face centres a single eye framed by plain vertical stripes at both ends; turning the bead reveals a second face where the connecting line breaks from the stripe pattern entirely, tracing a stepped, right-angled path instead. As with other two-faced pieces in this collection, this bead rewards handling and rotation rather than a single fixed view. The translucent brown gloss visible at the drilled end supports natural agate as the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNo cracks are visible anywhere on this bead in these photos. Under magnification, the surface shows fine natural pitting consistent with genuine age — a texture marker rather than damage. There are no bloodspots on this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Two Eye Motif\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Two Eye motif is traditionally associated with good relations both at home and in the workplace — harmony between partners, and harmony among colleagues. On this piece, the motif's expression shifts distinctly from face to face: a single eye with plain stripes on one side, a stepped connecting line with no visible eye on the other, giving the bead two very different characters depending on which face is turned toward the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Eye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56.6mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.9mm\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; fine natural surface pitting consistent with age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (Tier 1)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-070226-2E\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\/taiwan-dzi\"\u003eTaiwan 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\"\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 with two distinct faces, 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, including a macro detail of the surface texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHashtags:\u003c\/strong\u003e #DziBead #VintageDzi #TwoEyeDzi #TaiwanDzi #AgateDzi #TibetanDzi #DziBeadCollector #AncientDziShop #DziJewelry #HandCarvedAgate #DziAmulet #BuddhistBead #DziMotif #DarkBrownAgate #AuthenticDzi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43981132333222,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/20220118_131601.jpg?v=1783150706","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/vintage-two-eye-motif-dzi-bead-v-070226-2e","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
