A CHINESE CARVED DZI BEAD

拍品描述

This elongated cylindrical dzi bead has a length of 7 cm and a total weight of 30 grams. Its textured surface features hand-carved stylized symbolic motifs contrasting against mottled earthy brown, cream and faint bluish patination. Tiny perforations are distributed across the carved sections, complementing the central longitudinal threading bore running through the pendant. Natural ageing has produced layered weathered textures and nuanced tonal variations across the stone matrix. Boasting distinctive traditional iconography and tactile aged patina, this well-formed dzi bead serves as a desirable singular piece for curated assemblages of sacred Chinese Himalayan talismanic beadwork.
