These exquisite Venetian wound glass trade beads were crafted in Venice and are notable for their unique "eye" design and trail decorations. Dating back to the late 1800s to early 1900s, these beads played a significant role in the African trade, particularly in Ghana and other parts of West Africa. The intricate lampwork technique involves winding molten glass around a mandrel, showcasing the expert craftsmanship of Venetian artisans. Trade beads like these were highly valued and used as a form of currency and ornamentation, highlighting their cultural and historical importance.
