OVOID PERICO PLUMB BOB. S.XIX

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 parakeets have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- This parakeet has a fixed head, although part of it is detached, it remains whole. It has a nut, all made of wood, although it is not the original one.
- It has a curious ovoid-shaped end with a very small iron tip.
- 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.

The plumb bob is in a very good state of preservation, with some knocks and rubbing, both on the edges and on the edges.
