About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were created between the late 1400s and early 1900s for trade with Africa and the Americas. Produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries, these beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, slaves, and furs. The peak of their production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were exported to Africa, predominantly from Venice.
