AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Old Tibetan agate “Six Eyes” Dzi talisman with Sau (Shou) – God of Longevity – Hand-carved cameo – ca. 54 mm
Special and decorative talisman made from naturally banded Tibetan agate, featuring a fine hand-carved depiction of Sau (Shou) — the Chinese god of long life. In Chinese mythology, Sau symbolizes wisdom, knowledge and a prosperous life, and his likeness is traditionally associated with protection and well-being.
This object combines artistic craftsmanship with rich cultural symbolism, making it an attractive collectible for enthusiasts of Asian art, carved minerals, and traditional talismans.
Cultural significance
Dzi beads have been valued for centuries within Tibetan and Himalayan traditions for their characteristic patterns and deep symbolism. Often made from agate, these beads were worn as protective amulets and cherished as heirlooms.
The six-eyed Dzi is traditionally associated with attracting luck and dispelling misfortune. In Buddhist thought, the six eyes refer to the six realms of existence in the material universe — from lower worlds to higher spiritual states.
