Description
- Bright red and yellow elbow (aka banana) shape trade bead 43x9mm
- The bright red and yellow colors were introduced after WWI, because the ingredients for making the original brick or rosy red and amber colors had become too expensive. That means beads with the new colors can be dated between 1918 and the 1920s by which time the Venetian/African trade bead was winding down.
- Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade, early 1900s
