About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads, created between the late 1400s and early 1900s in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries, were used for trade with Africa and the Americas. In exchange for these beads, items such as gold, ivory, and slaves were traded in Africa, while fur was traded with Native Americans. The peak of Trade Beads production was from the mid-1800s to early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced primarily in Venice and exported to Africa.
