These millefiori beads were crafted using an ancient Venetian technique, which involved layering molten glass to create vibrant floral and geometric patterns in glass canes, later sliced and embedded into each bead. This art, refined in Venice, yielded unique beads valued for their beauty and traded across West Africa, where they became symbols of prestige and cultural exchange. Ghana and other African regions prized these Venetian beads, integrating them into jewelry and ceremonial attire, making them invaluable in the history of African trade.
