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 in Africa, and furs with Native Americans. Trade Beads reached their peak production from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions being exported to Africa, predominantly produced in Venice.
