Original Message:   Examples of Venetian "tributes" to Akoso
These are found in various shades of yellow, and occasionally with aqua color added to the brown & black trailing. When the Venetian beads get well-worn, they sometimes are mistaken for their powder glass "cousins". I think the Venetians copied the traditional African designs, not vice-versa. But this is open to debate. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
