{"product_id":"antique-eight-eye-dzi-bead-50mm-dark-brown-at-073126-8e","title":"Eight Eye Motif, 50.3×12.5mm, Very Dark Brown Agate (At-073126-8E)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight eyes on this bead are arranged four and four — two groups, each in a two-by-two grid on opposite faces, so the full count only completes when you turn the bead all the way round. On one face you see four eyes at once, two above and two below, linked by bold pointed cream V-forms pressing in between them. On the side face the design changes: two eyes framed by broad, sweeping arches curving in from the corners. Turn further and the second group of four appears, mirroring the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is as ambitious as the count. The cream lines are bold and wide throughout; the pointed connectors are substantial elements in their own right, and the arches give the side faces a strong character of their own. At 50.3mm the bead is a substantial antique barrel, and the eight eyes fill it densely, leaving little dark ground unoccupied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a deep, warm, very dark brown, consistent across all four faces. Both end caps are a warmer, lighter brown, the agate's natural colour at the tips. The bright cream lines contrast strongly with the dark ground, and fine age texture runs across the dark areas. No cracks or chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Eight Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight is a number of completeness and good fortune in Tibetan Buddhism. The eight eyes are associated with the Eight Auspicious Symbols — the parasol of protection, the golden fish of abundance, the treasure vase of wealth, the lotus of purity, the conch of proclamation, the endless knot of interdependence, the victory banner of accomplishment and the Dharma wheel of teaching. An Eight Eye dzi is traditionally worn to receive the blessing of all eight at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eight Eye (八眼天珠); two groups of four eyes in two-by-two grids on opposite faces, with pointed V-connectors and arches on the side faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agate, very dark brown with warm brown end caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, estimated 200–300 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good; fine age texture across the dark areas; no cracks or chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e At-073126-8E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/authentic-antique-dzi\"\u003eAntique Dzi Beads\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYou May Also Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-eight-eye-dzi-bead-53mm-dark-brown-at-080226-8e2\"\u003eAntique Eight Eye Dzi (At-080226-8E2)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/ancient-eight-eye-dzi-bead-500-700-years-ac-071026-8e\"\u003eAncient Eight Eye Dzi (Ac-071026-8E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-five-eye-kubera-dzi-bead-pitch-black-at-072625-5e\"\u003eAntique Five Eye Kubera Dzi (At-072625-5E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-six-eye-dzi-bead-honey-gold-dark-brown-at-053026-6e\"\u003eAntique Six Eye Dzi with Honey-Gold End Caps (At-053026-6E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-eye-dzi-bead-54mm-dark-brown-medicine-dig-at-091626-9e2\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi with Medicine Dig (At-091626-9E2)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/the-eight-eye-dzi-bead-symbolism-and-significance\"\u003eThe Eight Eye Dzi Bead: Symbolism and Significance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/dzi-motifs-and-their-interpretations-other-motifs\"\u003eDzi Bead Motifs and Their Meanings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix unretouched photographs; colour and surface detail are exactly as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56886139715750,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/antique_tibetan_eight_eye_dzi_1.jpg?v=1788944153","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/zh-cn\/products\/antique-eight-eye-dzi-bead-50mm-dark-brown-at-073126-8e","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
