What you see is exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this bead the eye does not end where the ring ends. The arc above each eye curls outward and flows straight into the wave lines of the next face, so the design never quite stops. Hold it one way and you see an eye; turn it and the eye becomes part of a wave; turn further and the second eye appears, pulling the wave back into its orbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1980s Taiwan dzi carries one eye on each of two faces, each framed by generous, open cream arcs — looser and more fluid than a crisp closed ring. The connecting faces carry bold diagonal wave bands, two sweeping S-curves in the same generous stroke as the tasso family. Eye and wave together define this variant, and it holds attention from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ground is a deep, warm dark brown, and the bright cream lines keep a clean, strong contrast after four decades. Both ends show a warm tan-beige agate tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBloodspots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two close-up photographs show natural cinnabar (朱砂) inclusions in the cream areas. In Image 7, reddish-orange to warm brown dots run across the cream eye ring and the stripe beside it, with a denser reddish-brown fringe along the edge between cream and dark ground. In Image 8, scattered reddish-orange pinpoints appear across the cream wave band. Bloodspots like these occur naturally in the agate and can appear in vintage and new beads as well as old ones — they add character but are not in themselves proof of age.

Each eye is a watchful, protective presence, and together they are associated with wisdom and compassion and with balance between inner and outer life. In this variant, where the eye flows into the surrounding waves, the meaning is the same, expressed in a more dynamic, continuous form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a vintage bead, made in Taiwan in the 1980s using the traditional dzi crafting technique, with four decades of history of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Eye Variant (二眼天珠); open-arc eyes on two opposite faces flowing into diagonal wave connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36.2mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5mm\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, deep warm dark brown with tan-beige ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage, 1980s Taiwan, made using the traditional dzi crafting technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good; no cracks or chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloodspots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — Prominent; scattered cinnabar in the cream areas with a denser fringe along the edges (Images 7 and 8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-080426-2EVBS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/taiwan-dzi\"\u003eTaiwan Dzi\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/collections\/bloodspot-dzi\"\u003eBloodspot 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\/vintage-taiwan-two-eye-dzi-bead-v062126-2e\"\u003eVintage Two Eye Dzi, Taiwan (V-062126-2E)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/antique-two-eye-variant-dzi-bead-bloodspots-at-072326-2evbs\"\u003eAntique Two Eye Variant Dzi with Bloodspots (At-072326-2EVBS)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/products\/ancient-two-eye-dzi-natural-formed-eye-reddish-brown-agate-ac-090326-2e\"\u003eAncient Two Eye Dzi, Reddish-Brown Agate (Ac-090326-2E)\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/blogs\/news\/taiwan-dzi-beads-vintage-1980s-guide\"\u003eTaiwan Dzi Beads: The Vintage 1980s Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight unretouched photographs, including two close-ups of the bloodspots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Dzi Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56902146031782,"sku":null,"price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/7198\/files\/vintage_taiwan_bloodspot_dzi_featuring_two_eye_motif_variant_1.jpg?v=1788944223","url":"https:\/\/www.ancientdzishop.com\/zh-tw\/products\/vintage-taiwan-two-eye-variant-dzi-bead-bloodspots-v-080426-2evbs","provider":"Ancient Dzi Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
