About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads, also known as 【Trade Beads】, were crafted 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 furs with Native Americans. The production of Trade Beads peaked from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported primarily to Africa. Most of these beads were made in Venice.
