About this copy
Wisdom Eyes - Dzi Bead. Published by Beijing Hanhai Auctions, 2012. This is the official auction catalogue for Beijing Hanhai's 2012 Spring Sale, a specialized sale dedicated to dzi beads (天珠), the sacred agate amulets revered in Tibetan Buddhism and Himalayan culture.
The catalogue documents lots 2301–2338 and includes professional photography and descriptions. The auction took place on Sunday 27 May 2012. Text is in Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, and Tibetan.
Binding and condition: Hardcover with bright green cloth boards and decorative ribbon bookmark. Original dust jacket intact, bright and vibrant. Book block is secure; pages are cream/yellow with moderate age-related yellowing and minor foxing, consistent with a twelve-year-old auction catalogue.
Binding and structure are sound.
Condition
