BRONZE PERICO PLUMB BOB. S.XIX.

Description:
- 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, which is why they were rarely fitted with a nub.
- Even so, some parakeets are equipped with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- This parakeet has a threaded head. The thread is of medium size and diameter, with a medium thread and pitch.
- It has several grooves of subtle depth along the body of the sinker. In addition, it has a knurled head for a better grip.
- It has a curious termination, leaving a space between the tip and the body of the sinker.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the manufacturer's details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.

Conservation and Damage:
- The perico is in a good state of preservation, with several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- A spectacular patina is preserved all over the perico.
- The tip is very worn due to use.
- The quality of the casting and workmanship is good.
- The plumb bob shows wear and tear typical of it's age.
