This authentic antique strand of African trade bead is estimated to be dated between mid 1800's - early 1900's.
Traditionally used as currency in the barter system during colonial times (hence the name 'trade beads') throughout West Africa, needless to say, this strand is one of a kind.
African trade beads represent high societal status, wealth status, & eldership. They are made from a mixture of glass, shell, & bone.
The beads can be worn whole as a necklace or pieced apart to be added to bracelets, anklets, etc.
This heirloom artifact is great to keep in the family, passing it down from one generation to the next.
