Pebble drilling 101

[JEBMs]

The top 2 pictures are the same piece in an attempt to show how a flat pebble was drilled half way through from one side then turned over and finished from the other. This river pebble either broke during the drilling process or when a tractor hit it the split happened directly across the hole showing how the 2 funnel shaped holes connect. The other pebble shown in the bottom picture was not finished because the craftsman noticed that he didn’t have the holes lined up. Both sides have the cone shaped holes

Thanks for the information. It’s not something discussed much n

Nice example of how some pendants were drilled.
