Ancient Twelve Eye Lotus Motif Dzi Bead (Anc-TiD-TwEL-051924)
This bead is adorned with the Twelve Eye Lotus Motif. The Twelve Eye Lotus Motif is believed to help its wearer gain authority, power, and influence though making the right decisions and seeing things critically. The Chinese hold in high regard for the number TWELVE. There are twelve ornaments on an emperor’s robe, twelve months in the Solar and Lunar calendars, and there are twelve deeds of Buddha.
This bead measures 27.8 mm x 10.7 mm. This piece is an ancient bead, estimated to be about between 1500 to 2000 years old.
The bead material is high quality natural agate.
The extreme calcification on this bead is testimony to its antiquity. As with all antique dzi beads, weathering marks and minor digs are all part of the beauty.
