Asia's maritime bead trade : 300 B.C. to the present

Author:	Peter Francis, Jr.
Publisher:	Honolulu : University of Hawai'i Press, ©2002.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"This study is the first detailed description of the ancient and enduring trade in beads that spans more than two millennia and once stretched from the Middle East to East Asia and affected areas as far apart as West Africa and the American Pacific coast. Beads are universal and among the earliest art forms. Made of glass, semiprecious stone, or precious organic materials such as amber and coral, they were ubiquitous in the ancient world, serving as decorations, magical charms, mnemonic and counting devices, and symbols of wealth and status. Much of the ancient bead trade was incorporated in Asian maritime commerce, and many of the beads involved have Asian origins."--Jacket.  Read more...
