These Venetian wound glass beads, also known as lampwork beads, were meticulously handcrafted in Venice, Italy. The lampwork technique involves winding molten glass around a metal rod, allowing for the creation of unique and detailed designs such as the iconic "EYE" patterns seen here. These beads were highly prized in the African trade, particularly in Ghana, where they were used as currency and symbols of wealth and status. The intricate trail decorations add to their historical and aesthetic value, making them a remarkable addition to any collection.
