One pitch-black stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two eyes on this bead do not match. Face A carries a fully closed concentric eye — outer oval, cream field, dark pupil, complete and contained. Face B carries a C-ring: the outer arc never closes, so the eye reads as open. One closed eye and one open eye on the same bead is an unusual pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medicine digs sit on a third face (Image 2), where the cream motif becomes a scroll or wave rather than an eye. Two deliberate, irregular hollows are visible there, where earlier keepers scraped powdered stone from the bead for traditional Tibetan medicine. The digs cut through the cream scroll lines, showing they were made after the bead was finished. Someone chose this face and this spot. The bead was first trusted as an amulet, then as medicine — two kinds of trust recorded on one stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground is a deep, even pitch-black and highly polished, smoother and glossier than many beads of similar age. The end caps are the same unbroken black, with small drill holes set within a cream ring (Images 5 and 6).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-two-eye-dzi-bead-medicine-digs-at-010726-2e3\"\u003eAntique Two Eye Dzi At-010726-2E3\u003c\/a\u003e — 38.6mm × 12.5mm, warm dark brown, both eyes closed — this bead shares the medicine digs but differs in stone, colour and eye character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Two Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Two Eye dzi (二眼天珠) is the motif of harmony between people — partners, colleagues, households. It is worn when the intention is alignment between two people rather than strengthening one person alone, and is often given at marriages or kept in workplaces where cooperation matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Eye (二眼天珠); closed concentric eye on Face A, open C-ring on Face B; cream scroll on the medicine dig face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stocky torpedo with pitch-black end caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural pitch-black agate with cream motif lines; highly polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, estimated 200+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent; no cracks; two medicine digs on the scroll face; natural weathering\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-033126-2E4\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-two-eye-dzi-bead-medicine-digs-at-010726-2e3\"\u003eAntique Two Eye Dzi with Medicine Digs (At-010726-2E3)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-two-eye-dzi-closed-eyes-medicine-digs-at-033126-2e5\"\u003eAntique Two Eye Dzi, Closed Eyes, Medicine Digs (At-033126-2E5)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-two-eye-dzi-bead-extreme-bloodspot-saturation-at-092724-2ebs\"\u003eAntique Two Eye Dzi with Extreme Bloodspots (At-092724-2EBS)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-two-eye-dzi-rare-octagonal-barrel-at-120120-2e7\"\u003eAntique Two Eye Dzi, Rare Octagonal Form (At-120120-2E7)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-nine-stripe-chung-dzi-bloodspots-at-110223-9sbs\"\u003eAntique Nine Stripe Chung Dzi with Bloodspots (At-110223-9SBS)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/new-two-eye-motif-dzi-bead-n-062426-2e\"\u003eNew Two Eye Dzi (N-062426-2E)\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-two-eye-dzi-bead-symbolism-and-significance\"\u003eThe Two Eye Dzi Bead: Symbolism and Significance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/what-gives-dzi-beads-value-and-what-to-be-careful-of\"\u003eWhat Gives Dzi Beads Value — and What to Be Careful Of\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne closed eye, one open eye, and two medicine digs on the face with no eye at all.
