{"product_id":"antique-eight-eye-dzi-bead-53mm-dark-brown-at-080226-8e2","title":"Eight Eye Motif, 53.4×12.6mm, Deep Warm Dark Brown Agate (At-080226-8E2)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe never retouch our photos. What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bead puts two eyes on every face. Turn it any way and a pair of eyes looks back at you — each set in a cream almond frame pointed at both ends, the two eyes of each pair flanking a central vertical divider, the design repeating without a break around the bead. There is no connecting face and no plain zone: eight eyes, arranged so the bead is never turned away from you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe almond frames are its defining feature. Instead of the simple concentric ring of most eye dzi, each eye sits in a pointed oval that lengthens the form and gives it a more striking, watchful character. The small round pupils sit within cream inner rings. Between the pairs, cream X-shaped connectors cross the dark ground, joining the whole circumference into one continuous network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground is a deep, warm dark brown rather than pitch-black, which softens the contrast with the cream lines and gives the bead a settled, aged look. Both end caps are a warm tan-beige, the agate's natural colour at the tips. The dark areas have a fine semi-matte texture consistent with its age. No cracks or chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Eight Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight is one of the most significant numbers in Tibetan Buddhism. The eight eyes correspond to the Eight Auspicious Symbols — the parasol of protection, the golden fish of abundance, the treasure vase of fulfilment, the lotus of purity, the conch of proclamation, the endless knot of interdependence, the victory banner of accomplishment and the Dharma wheel of teaching — and an Eight Eye dzi is worn to receive the blessing of all eight at once. It is also associated with staying on the right path, the eight eyes watching over the wearer from every direction. On this bead, with a pair of eyes on every face, that watchfulness truly surrounds you.\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 almond-framed eyes on each of four faces, with central dividers and X-shaped connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.6mm\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, deep warm dark brown with tan-beige end caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique, estimated 300–500 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good; fine semi-matte age texture; 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-080226-8E2\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-50mm-dark-brown-at-073126-8e\"\u003eAntique Eight Eye Dzi, Very Dark Brown (At-073026-8E)\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-dzi-bead-blue-tint-dark-brown-at-072326-5e\"\u003eAntique Five Eye Dzi with Blue-Tint Eyes (At-072326-5E)\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-53mm-dark-brown-agate-200-400yr-at-070626-9e\"\u003eAntique Nine Eye Dzi, Deep Dark Brown (At-070626-9E)\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":56894999625894,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/20260802_150603.jpg?v=1788937534","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/zh-tw\/products\/antique-eight-eye-dzi-bead-53mm-dark-brown-at-080226-8e2","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
