These antique Venetian lampwork beads, also known as wound glass beads, were meticulously crafted in Venice, Italy. The winding technique involved in their creation is a traditional method where molten glass is carefully wound around a mandrel, resulting in unique and intricate designs. These beads played a significant role in African trade, particularly in Ghana, where they were highly valued and often used as a form of currency and a symbol of wealth and status.
