Venetian lampwork, also known as wound glass beads, were meticulously handcrafted in Venice, Italy. Each bead was created by winding molten glass around a metal rod, often with intricate designs and decorations applied to the surface. These beads were highly prized and extensively traded in Africa, particularly in Ghana, where they were used as currency, in ceremonies, and as symbols of wealth and status.
