They are a warm honey-golden-orange, and against a deep near-black ground they glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost two eye dzi use cream or white for their motif. Here the stripes and eye rings are a warm honey-golden-orange, between gold and terracotta, reading as a warm, luminous colour against the near-black agate. It is the defining feature of the bead and the first thing you notice in every photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFace A (Image 3) presents one eye with a layered quality: a honey-golden-orange ring with a pale inner zone and a dark oval centre, giving it depth. Parallel golden-orange stripes run above and below, crisp and well-spaced. Face B (Image 4) shows an open C-ring eye in the same warm tone. The two eyes differ, one more closed, one open, and the bead must be turned to see both. The stripes are bold and well-defined, and the surface is highly polished and glassy along its length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 49.1mm × 11.8mm this is one of the longer and more slender two eye beads in the collection, a clean elongated spindle (Images 5 and 6). The end caps are warm russet to terracotta-brown, with a vivid orange-red drill interior that picks up the warmth of the motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microscope image (Image 2) shows two kinds of natural cinnabar (硃砂, zhūshā) in one view: in the upper white zone, a dense concentration of warm rust-brown to dark orange-brown cinnabar in a broad patch; below it, a scattered constellation of individual rust-orange to golden-orange dots. The cinnabar is part of the agate itself, present before the bead was etched. The stone's natural patina is very beautiful, and the microscope shows why.

It is a long-time favourite of managers, prized for fostering harmony among co-workers as much as between husband and wife.
