BRONZE PLUMB BOB PERICO. S.XVII

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 have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- This perico has a fixed head. With a very curious shape, this is a rare perico, which maintains a spectacular patina.
- It has several grooves of different depths 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 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 has been preserved all over the perico.
- The quality of the casting and workmanship is very good.
- The plumb bob shows wear typical of it’s age.
