About Trade Beads:
Trade beads, also known as "交易のとんぼ玉" in Japanese, are antique beads that were produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with the African and American continents. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, and slaves in Africa, and fur with Native Americans in North America. Trade beads reached their peak production from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, with millions of beads being produced and exported to Africa, the majority of which were made in Venice.
