A CHINESE DZI BEAD
This is a fine Chinese dzi bead, carved from natural banded agate with a striking natural "eye" motif, a revered talisman in Tibetan and Chinese culture symbolizing protection, good fortune, and spiritual power. The bead features a polished, rounded square form, with a crisp white concentric ring surrounding a deep black center, accented by subtle engraved details. Measuring 2.2 cm, this handcrafted piece exemplifies the ancient art of dzi bead making, making it a highly desirable collector's item for connoisseurs of Asian spiritual and decorative arts.
