<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 10288465, member: 5833"]You will hardly ever find a scarab that does not have holes at either end. Many are drilled right through so they can be used as beads. On some the holes do not go all the way from end to end, but do allow for something like a swivel mount. Obviously these are functional considerations for smaller scarabs, but seem simply to be tradition so that pieces that are more paperweight size also have them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
