About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads, produced from the late 1400s to the 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 fur with Native Americans. From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, Trade Beads reached their peak, with millions produced and exported to Africa, predominantly from Venice.
