  • Strand of 36 perfect fancy, square cross section Venetian trade beads
  • Fancy decoration of red & white and blue & white twisted latticino interspersed with amber dots on black base
  • Only one available
  • Made in Venice, Italy mid-1800 to early 1900s for the African Trade
  • It would be hard to find a more perfect strand of "good beads"
  • This is the name African traders gave lampworked beads because they valued them more than the mosaic we were all after in the early days (1960's -70s)
  • Now we've finally learned to appreciate them too!
