About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were created in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with Africa and the Americas. In exchange for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and furs with Native Americans in North America, these beads played a significant role in commerce. The peak of Trade Beads' popularity was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions produced and exported to Africa, primarily from Venice.
