Mixed Trade Bead

A truly spectacular  strand of 51 Trade Beads strung on raffia 36″ long. This mix of Venetian Beads has some real stars among them: 14 whimisical wedding cake beads (yellow and red) , a Hebron Bead (said to be made in Hebron in the 1800s) , several impeccable Bodom beads, 4 raised dot Skunk Venetian Beads (sadly the 5th which is blue with yellow dots is damaged), 3 vintage glass beads ..are some. A real collector’s item! These beads have traveled across continents and oceans and show some of their wear. Somehow the evidence of their adventures only adds to their beauty.
