FIXED HEAD PERICO PLUMB BOB. S.XIX

Description:
- Perico plumb bob from the first half of the 19th century.
- The pericos are small plumb bobs that were carried by the master builders in their pockets.
- They were used to check the vertical, using them from a distance, and that is why they rarely had a nut.
- Even so, some parakeets have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Their body shape is conical. Both the body of the weight and the head are made of bronze, while the tip is made of iron.
- The head is fixed. With a very nice appearance, the weight is made by turning.
- No distinguishing mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker,s details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
Conservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a very good state of preservation, with some knocks and rubbing, both on the edges and on the edges.
- A very good and beautiful patina has been preserved throughout the plummet.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it’s age.
