Description
- Antique Venetian trade bead with amber, red, white and green concentric circles separated by red, white and blue stripes. 34x13mm
- Not sure what the red, white and blue was about. In this configuration it could be the Dutch flag, but that's unlikely. Turned the other way it could be the French flag, a little more likely as most of the African lands where these Italian beads were going were French colonies.
- Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade early to mid-1800s
