  • Imitation Amber Beads of Phenolic Resin from the African Trade
    IMITATION AMBER BEADS OF PHENOLIC RESIN FROM THE AFRICAN TRADE Rosanna Falabella Examination of contemporary beads with African provenance reveals large quantities of imitation amber beads made of phenol- formaldehyde thermosetting resins (PFs). This article delves into the early industrial history of PFs and their use in the production of imitation amber and bead materials. Attempts to discover actual sources that manufactured imitation amber beads for export to Africa and the time frame have not been very fruitful. While evidence exists that PFs were widely used as amber substitutes within Europe, only a few post-WWII references explicitly report the export of imitation amber PF beads to Africa. However they arrived in Africa, the durability of PF beads gave African beadworkers aesthetic freedom not only to rework the original beads into a variety of shapes and sizes, and impart decorative elements, but also to apply heat treatment to modify colors. Some relatively simple tests to distinguish PFs from other bead materials are presented. Figure 1. Beads of phenol-formaldehyde thermosetting resins INTRODUCTION (PFs) from the African trade. The large bead at bottom center is 52.9 mm in diameter (metric scale) (all images by the author unless otherwise noted). Strands of machined and polished amber-yellow beads, from small to very large (Figure 1), are found today in the He reports that other shapes, such as barrel and spherical stalls of many African bead sellers as well as in on-line (Figure 2), were imported as well, but the short oblates stores and auction sites.

  • How Beads Are Made GBI Knowledge Center Introduction
    How Beads Are Made GBI Knowledge Center Introduction There are a number different ways of making beads from glass. The three principle methods are described in this chapter. Beads can be made 1. by winding molten glass to form a bead (Wound); or 2. by drawing molten glass to form a long thin tube, which can then be cut into many beads, (Drawn); or 3. by placing glass in moulds and heating in a kiln until it fuses together (Fused). There are two variations on these techniques: first, with mould pressed beads, the molten glass is forced into a mould to give beads a certain shape, and to speed up the process of producing beads; second, mosaic beads are made by fusing slices of drawn canes to a wound or drax, n glass body. One can also blow molten gJass to make beads, but such beads are fragile, and rarely survive for archaeologists to find, so this method is not dealt with here. The method of making beads in Ghana is described here in the most detail, as this method is only to be found in Ghana and Mauritania: in all other places beads are made by working with molten glass. Contemporary methods of making beads are described, with illustrations, and two historical accounts of bead making are reprinted for comparison. The method of making beads is also used as the primary criterion for classifying beads, both by others (Beck 1928, Kidd and Kidd 1970, Karklins 1985) and in the classification developed for the beads in the Museum of Archaeology.
