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 pericoids have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Solid bronze plumb bob with a high percentage of copper, with a fixed head and without a nut.
- With a very nice appearance, the weight is made by turning. It has a very curious shape, with a cylindrical finish.
- The parakeet has nine subtly deep grooves along its 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.

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 plumb bob.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it's age.

Comments:
- Both the measurements and the weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector,s item and as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not equal to the tones of the real colours.
- The object for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed description of the object.
