Bannerstone Holes
A bannerstone that was discarded because in the drilling process the hole went astray and came out the side
A bannerstone that drilling was
begun on but never finished. Notice the dimple in the center of
the hole, a hollow reed was used to drill this banner.
A broken bannerstone that shows about 1/3 of the original hole
Another broken bannerstone that shows a little over half of the
hole. This is a great view of what a proper hole should look
like.
Bannerstone Side
A side view of the ruined bannerstone .See where the hole comes out the side.
A side view of the never finished bannerstone.
These pictures
are front and back of a bannerstone preform . This is a very
interesting relic that I have only seen a few of. Notice the
squared area in the center ,this is a little over an inch thick.
The rest of the preform is about 3/8" thick.
