The Tasso Tiger Tooth Dzi bead is a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and protection. It is associated with the ferocity and resilience of the tiger, an animal revered in Tibetan culture for its fearlessness and dominance over negative forces. The sharp, angular stripes represent the tiger's fangs, signifying the ability to ward off evil, conquer obstacles, and instill confidence in the wearer. They are most often worn as protective amulets and are sometimes ground into a powder for use in traditional Tibetan medicine. The artisans who make the Dzi embellish the lines and shapes of the beads using ancient methods such as darkening with plant sugar and heat, bleaching and etching white lines with natron, and protecting certain areas with fat, clay, wax, or a similar substance.
