About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads refer to beads produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, slaves in Africa, and fur with Native Americans in North America. Trade beads reached their peak production from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being exported to Africa. Most of these beads were produced in Venice.
