About Trade Beads:

Trade beads, known as "Trade Beads," were 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, and slaves in Africa, and for fur with Native Americans. From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, trade beads reached their peak, with millions being produced and exported to Africa, predominantly from Venice.
