Apron

ca. 1830 | Johann Natterer

Beads were worked into woven goods in South America even before the arrival of European glass beads. These goods were usually made by women. Small, highly polished seeds were the most common material for such beads. The integration of European glass beads led to the development of new aesthetics, which soon became a part of tradition. Local craftsmanship was preserved.
