Necklaces made up of lamp eye beads produced in Venice, presumably between the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century (fig. 4) for the colonial markets. In order to satisfy the African consumers, the Venetian glassworks even imitated autochthonous bead types such as bodom beads.
