Tibetan Dzi Bead

Shorter and stout, with a dark pointed diamond and a cream stripe.

This Tibetan agate dzi bead is from Tibet. Dzi beads are etched agate beads from the Tibetan cultural world, and the patterns of eyes, lines and waves on their surfaces are traditionally given names and meanings. Short, cylinder-like bead with a dark cap and a mottled, amber-and-cream body. A dark triangular shape rises above a pale band, with another pointing down below. A tiny drilled hole is visible at the top.

Geometry shaped like a small, very persuasive arrow.
