Original Message: Picard Trade Bead Museum Visit - III. Fancy Beads

In this group of photos, I shot a selection of fancy beads from one row of the horizontal display cases in the museum. I think there are ten rows total. Then there are vertical display cases above all the horizontal cases. The beads on display include fancy, millefiori, chevron, stone, metal, shell - pretty much a comprehensive collection of beads traded to or made in Africa.
The following are just a selection of images taken from ONE of the rows. The number of different Venetian fancy beads on display is truly staggering. Every time, I visit, it seems that there are so many types of beads that I didn't see before...we all wished that the museum was closer to San Francisco so we could visit more often.
