The composition runs two large cream-white ring eyes per side face, each with a soft pale blue-grey shadow at its inner edge, with small crescent-dot elements between the main eyes and vertical stripe dividers framing each face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground, consistent across several flat-lit, white-background photographs, is a warm dark brown, distinctly warmer than the black-to-olive grounds of the Nine Eye beads. The motif is a bright cream-white, with the faint blue-grey shadowing inside the eyes adding a second, quieter tone to a high-contrast design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth end caps are intact, each with a clean, round drill opening. The caps are warm honey-amber to tan, a softer, more golden colour than the rust-orange to amber-gold caps of several Nine Eye beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe disclose its age directly: this is not a centuries-old antique dzi. It was made in that visual tradition before 2000, and today it is a piece with twenty-plus years of genuine age since it was finished, different both from a brand-new bead and from an antique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bead is an elongated barrel with smoothly rounded shoulders, tapering gently at both ends. The gloss is even across both faces, with no cracks, chips, or medicine digs visible. No bloodspots are visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Seven Eye Motif\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Tibetan dzi tradition, the Seven Eye motif is associated with bringing together good fortune across the main areas of life: fate, reputation, career, wealth, health, longevity, and marriage.
