Description:
- 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 pericos are equipped with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Iron plumb bob with a threaded head. The perico is made by turning.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- The head of the plumb bob is roughened to make it easier to hold.
- Solid iron, probably made on a lathe, the marks of which can be seen along the body.
- No distinctive 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.
