- Lot Description
Beads found in Peru, South America but created in Europe and brought to the New World by the Spanish, ca. 1530 to 1620 CE. A matching necklace and bracelet, each made from European glass trade beads - three layer Nueva Cadiz as well as blue glass trade beads found in Peru, South America, from the Spanish trade to the New World, dating from the 16th to 17th century. The necklace is comprised of 11 Nueva Cadiz beads and 14 rounded blue glass trade beads; the bracelet has 8 Nueva Cadiz beads and 6 tubular and rectangular blue glass trade beads. Nueva Cadiz beads, named for a region on an island off the coast of Venezuela which was the first archaeological site where this type of bead was discovered, are related to Venetian chevron beads since both are comprised of layered glass made via the same technique. Nueva Cadiz beads have three layers - a dark blue core followed by a layer of white and then a layer of bright turquoise blue - and they are generally of a square tube shape, albeit some are twisted a bit when drawn by the artisan to create a spiral form, as we see in these examples. Size: necklace is 27.5" L (69.8 cm); bracelet is 9.5" L (24.1 cm); longest bead measures 2.375" L (6 cm)
According to the Corning Museum of Glass, "The earliest Nueva Cadiz beads were found at various sites throughout North and South America in the 16th and 17th centuries. They are thought to have been brought by the Spanish and then traded into the inland areas of North America. The original place of manufacture for these trade beads remains a mystery, but they were likely produced in Bohemia or Venice. Beads of this type and quality were also being made in the Netherlands during this period."
