These beautiful yellow beads feature intricate trail decorations, showcasing the classic Venetian wound glass technique. The vibrant color and elaborate patterns make these beads a prized addition to any collection of antique African trade beads.
Venetian lampwork beads, also known as wound glass beads, are created by winding molten glass around a metal rod. This meticulous process allows for the creation of complex designs and unique patterns. Historically, these beads were highly valued in Africa, particularly in Ghana, where they were used as currency and symbols of wealth and status.
