Taoist Nine-Character Barrel Spacer Bead

Short barrel shapes have an open threading channel. Dark lettering and warm gold-colored faces distinguish the patterned surface from the bore.

Sold individually.

Look first at the main motif of the nine-character barrel spacer bead. Its place in the Daojing collection reflects the use of ornament and inscription to carry a personal intention. Choose the particular design that speaks to the occasion, rather than assuming every motif has the same devotional use.

If you intend to restring an existing piece, the bore and the outside diameter matter separately. Check both against the cord you plan to use. A close photograph can show a rim or groove but not an exact drilling measurement.
