European glass trade beads became extremely popular in Africa. They were commonly used in barter transactions in exchange for a wide range of commodities from ivory or palm oil to gold. Venetian glass trade beads were among the most reputed ones both for the mastery in their manufacture as well as for the nearly endless combination of designs and colors. A beautiful combination of trade beads.
