World Beads

Bunka Gakuen Costume Museum
Finished
Beads are a familiar adornment to our contemporary clothes and accessories and have been used across the world since ancient times, but not always for the purpose of decoration, with cases of beads being employed as symbols of prayer and wealth. This exhibition introduces beads from regions across the globe from the glass beads used as currency, to the richly embroidered beaded dresses of Europe, to the symbolic beads of Asia and Africa.
