About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads, produced between the late 1400s and early 1900s, were crafted in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, slaves, and furs, among other goods. The peak of trade bead production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, most of which were made in Venice.
