Venetian lampwork beads, also known as wound glass beads, were meticulously handcrafted in Venice, Italy. The lampworking technique involves winding molten glass around a metal rod, allowing for intricate designs and patterns. These beads played a significant role in African trade, particularly in Ghana, where they were highly valued as currency and symbols of wealth and status.
