Musa Jawara of Puyallup, Washington is coming to the Essential Art Gallery in Moscow with a large selection of antique, craft, and collectible trade beads from all over the world. Trade beads were used between the 16th and 20th centuries as a token money to exchange for goods and services. Musa has been collecting these beads for decades, and while each set of beads has an incredible history, they show beautiful craftsmanship and are a collectors item.
