Discover a beautiful matching pair of OLD black BICONE / "KING" Venetian wound with trail decoration glass trade beads. These exquisite beads are a testament to the craftsmanship of Venetian artisans from the late 1800s to early 1900s, designed specifically for the African trade.
- Size: 18 x 15 mm

These beads are made using the lampwork technique, a traditional method where glass is melted and wound around a metal rod, then decorated with intricate trails of glass. This technique, perfected by Venetian craftsmen, resulted in durable and beautiful beads highly valued in African trade, particularly in Ghana. The exchange of these beads played a significant role in local economies and cultural exchanges.
