*Flat rate delivery for multiple purchases.*
*This listing is for one strand with approximately 60-80 beads. Only 1 available.

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.

All purchases made under the "Ghana Unique Finds" directly supports local Ghanaian artisans and craftsmen.
