This item is created from powder glass beads made by the Krobo people. They recycle bottles and scrap glass by crushing it and layering the powder into molds. After cooling from the furnace, beads are ground on a rock with sand for a smooth, shiny appearance.

These trade beads were made by the Krobo people in Ghana, West Africa. The core of the beads was made of recycled glass which was ground into powder and placed into molds and then fired in a furnace. When the bead has cooled, it is hand painted by a local artist and fired again. Each bead is unique. Trade beads were once a currency.
