This Tibetan Pure dZi (True dZi) Tiger Tooth bead features superb oiliness and moisture, giving it a highly desirable, richly aged character. The bead presents a beautiful antique look with a “red glutinous” texture — a warm, reddish-brown, smooth, and dense matrix that feels almost waxy to the touch. Hand-ground from old material, it follows a freeform, organic shape (sui xing) measuring approximately 11 mm in diameter and 29 mm in length. The surface displays fine, full-coverage weathering marks (feng hua hen) — typical “wind-pattern” ripples found only on genuinely old dZi beads — along with a thick, lustrous, and fully developed patina (bao jiang) that feels saturated and supple. This Tiger Tooth amulet embodies both protection and strength, making it an exceptional piece for serious collectors.
