BEADS!!
BEADS have been loved and collected from man's earliest
known existence.
Beads are one of the most historically fascinating adornments and
ancient forms of money used for trade, barter, and wealth.
Beads are made from every conceivable material; glass,
precious and semi-precious stones, pearl, clay, wood, leather, shell, bone, quills, precious metals and later, plastics.
Beads come in every conceivable shape, size, design and color.
For Native Peoples all over the globe, beads were and are, a display
of wealth, as well as adornment. Adornment for the body, clothes, personal belongings of every description.
If it could be decorated, it was and is!
Most everyone is attracted to beads of one form or another. If they could only
talk!!
