Original Message:   Re: Examples of Venetian "tributes" to Akoso

Yes,I agree with you. the european did need to lure back the africans to trade with them, they made copies with designs that they knew and that represented a value. I have the same beads as those of your necklace, and I did note, at the level of the hole, that the glass was rolled up, they are obviously European, perhaps venetian. These beads, here, are different: the glass powder is not european, I think so, and the glass around the hole is not rolled up, and it is wider, not regular. What do you think about the biconic too?: I have many venetian biconic and these are very different. I would think that they are african.
