Description
Bundle of vintage West African recycled glass trade beads showcasing the rich artisanal traditions of the Krobo beadmakers of Ghana. Hand-formed from crushed recycled glass and kiln-fired in traditional clay molds, each bead displays subtle variations in shape and a beautifully frosted surface, with luminous shades of deep cobalt, indigo, and turquoise that shift softly in the light. The strands remain tied together with natural grass fiber, reflecting the way such beads were historically bundled and transported through regional markets and trade routes. Both sculptural and culturally significant, the bundle reads as a vibrant textile of glass when displayed, celebrating the handmade character and enduring heritage of African bead-making traditions.
