A CHINESE PATTERNED DZI BEAD
This barrel-shaped dzi bead features a central perforation for threading cord as a protective talisman. Its surface bears layered weathered patina blending terracotta rust tones and pale turquoise mineral glaze, adorned with distinct symbolic spiral and silhouette motifs wrapped by diagonal dividing bands. The polished exterior shows natural texture erosion from long-term wear, with mottled mineral deposits enriching the antique aesthetic. Measuring 4.5cm in length and weighing 50 grams, this sacred dzi bead embodies traditional Tibetan folk belief, valued for auspicious symbolism and vintage surface patina among ethnic jewellery and antique stone collections.

DIMENSIONS: L. 4.5 cm. Weight 50 grams.
