African Trade Beads by Traore Issa
This beautifully illustrated book documents the ten-thousand year history of the beads made and traded in Africa, originally made from stones, shells and wood and latterly from glass.
Traore Issa’s father was a glass bead trader in Mali, West Africa. He now lives with his collection in Japan. He says that his family connection to beads makes him feel like they’re his siblings. Every reader will enjoy this documentation of origins, manufacturing techniques and materials.
