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 fixed head. This is a rare and high quality plumb bob.
- It still has it’s original nut, made entirely of wood.
- The body of the plumb bob has a ring at the equator of the dial, which gives it great aesthetic appeal.
- 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 plumb bob is in a very good state of preservation, with some knocks and rubbing, both on the edges and on the edges.
- A spectacular patina has been preserved throughout the plumb bob.
- It has a chipped tip due to time and use.
- A piece of wood is missing from the nut.
- The plumb bob shows the wear and tear of it’s age.

Comments:
- Both the Measurements, as well as 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 exposition of the object.
