These "Eye" beads hold significant historical and cultural importance, believed to have been used for protection against evil spirits, making them highly sought after by collectors and traders alike. The bead was made in the ancient city of Fustat, a hub of Islamic glass-making techniques during the medieval period.

Perlen handeln have long been a vital part of African and global commerce, especially in regions like Ghana and West Africa, where they were used as a form of currency, jewelry, and cultural exchange. Crafted through wound glass techniques (also known as lampwork), these beads were meticulously formed by hand, one at a time. The technique originated in Venice but was also developed in other regions such as Fustat.
