About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads, produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s, were used in trade with Africa and the Americas. In exchange for these beads, goods such as gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and fur with Native Americans in North America, were traded. The peak of trade bead production and export to Africa was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads produced, predominantly in Venice.
