What are Africa Trade Beads
 
Africa Trade beads were used in place of currency by European explorers in West Africa and North America from the Age of Discovery in the 16-19 century. They were manufactured by Europeans to be used in bartering with native populations for gold, ivory, and the beaver fur essential for making the top hats worn by gentlemen of the period. Indigenous peoples saw far more value in these colorful attractive beads than in any foreign currency. The hand faceted blue bohemian beads, which were traded for fur with Native Americans in Alaska and throughout the Pacific Northwest remain highly valued.
 
非洲貿易珠
「非洲貿易珠」（Africa Trade Beads ）在16-19世紀的歐洲殖民擴張時期，歐洲探險家在西非和北美用來代替貨幣，用於與當地居民進行商品交換，用於製作黃金，象牙和海狸皮，這些都是製作當時期紳士所戴的頂帽所必需的。 土著人民在這些色彩斑斕的珠子中看到的價值遠遠超過任何外幣。手工切割的藍色波西米亞小珠，在阿拉斯加和整個太平洋西北地區與美國原住民交易皮草，受到高度重視,後人稱之為非洲貿易珠。
