    Eye beads unearthed from Chu tomb in Xujialing, Xichuan, Henan Province.
    Micrograph and 3D pseudo-color OCT images of the eye bead HXX-M10. (a) Micrograph of the broken bead; (b) top view and the position; (c) slice perpendicular to the z axis, positioned at a distance of 184 pixels from the top; (d), (e) 3D sliced diagrammatic sketch at different angles along the x and y axes.
    2D-OCT images of eye bead HXX-M10.
    Microscopic images of the fragments of eye bead HXX-M10.
    Element mapping for eye bead HXX-M10 shows that the dark blue area has a correlation with elements of Co and Fe, the white area with Sb and Ca, the brown area with Fe and Mn, and the blue matrix with Cu. The lighter shade corresponds to higher concentrations.
    Fe2O3, CuO, Sb2O3, CoO, and Mn2O3 contents in different color regions of eye bead HXX-M10.
    Raman spectra of different color regions of eye bead HXX-M10. (a) Raman spectra of dark blue eye ball, turquoise blue matrix, and brown layer; (b) CaSb2O6 crystal in white circles; (c) envelope bands of turquoise blue matrix and CaSb2O6 crystal; (d) Oligoclase and CaSb2O6 crystals in a white layer. λ=532 nm.
