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, and slaves in Africa, and for furs with Native Americans in North America. The peak production of Trade Beads occurred from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa. The majority of these beads were manufactured in Venice.
