About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were crafted between the late 1400s and the early 1900s in European countries like Venice and Bohemia for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for goods such as gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and fur with Native Americans. The peak of trade bead production occurred from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported, primarily from Venice.
