Beading and beads
Beading may be described to be as old as man himself. Some of the earliest beadworks found (which were made of shell and ivory) date back to the Stone Age and might have been used by early man to decorate their body coverings or as necklaces, bracelets, or anklets. The Egyptians are thought to be the first people who crafted seed beads using faience seeds over 4,000 years ago. A manifest to this are the beadworks found by archeologists in the tomb of King Tut. In Japan, beadworks were discovered inside an 8th century palace. |
