These are representative examples of trade beads, also known as "tonbodama" (glass beads), made in Venice for the African trade in the 900s. They are commonly called "Red Skunk" beads. They feature a red, translucent spherical glass with white dots. Some beads are missing dots, which is how they were found in Mali. They are great for collecting or using in accessories.
