These antique Venetian lampwork beads are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Venetian artisans. Made using the lampwork technique, also known as wound glass, these beads were meticulously crafted by winding molten glass around a mandrel. This process allowed for intricate designs and vibrant colors, making each bead a unique piece of art.
Venetian trade beads played a significant role in the trade networks of West Africa, particularly in Ghana. They were highly valued and used as a form of currency, symbols of wealth, and for ceremonial purposes. The rich history and cultural significance of these beads make them a fascinating addition to any collection.
