An ancient Tibetan agate Dzi bead featuring the classic “tortoise shell” pattern, expressed through a network of geometric white lines over warm brown agate tones. The bead displays age-softened surfaces, mineral inclusions, and natural weathering consistent with long-term wear and ritual use. Its elongated cylindrical form and well-balanced motif make it a refined example of the tortoise-shell type, prized for symbolism associated with longevity, protection, and stability.
