Glass Beads - Anatolian Glass Bead Making The Final Traces of Three Millennia of Glass Making in The Mediterranean Region by Prof. Dr. Önder Küçükerman, 1988 Paperback, 102 p., English, 17*24 cm. In Anatolian culture, protection is never taken lightly. Whether Anatolians say "maşallah", knock on wood, or hang a blue bead by the door, the belief in guarding against negative energy is woven into everyday life. At the heart of this story is the iconic blue evil eye bead that has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Türkiye. This book explores the history and technique of glass bead production in Anatolia, tracing its roots back thousands of years. It combines historical research, archaeological insight, and detailed visual documentation to show how beads were produced, traded, and used across the Mediterranean. It looks closely at traditional glassmaking methods, regional workshops, and the cultural role these beads played in daily life, belief systems, and ornamentation.
