Aggry beads (also spelled aggri beads or aggrey beads) are a type of decorated glass bead from Ghana, used by West Africans as ornaments in necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery. One bead can cost €15. Aggry beads are also called Koli, Cori, Kor, Segi, Accori, or Ekeur. They are often used for medicinal purposes, as it is believed that they have magical powers. Beads were used for exchange and as a way of payment during trade in Africa. Europeans first collected aggry beads from the West Coast of Africa in the fifteenth century. Their origin is obscure (see ()). They are made from glass or meteorites. Sometimes millefiori beads are called "Aggrey", but this may be incorrect. ==External links== *(KettenE ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aggry beads」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
