THE MOST SPECTACULAR BEADS IN THE WORLD
From Ancient to Modern Times
The epic story of beads and their importance throughout human history.
An illustrated talk by Lois S. Dubin
Author of The History of Beads: 100,000 BC to the Present.

micro-beads – became a dazzling art form as well as a symbol of the women’s cultural and economic resilience.
