Description:
- Instrumental plumb bob from the first half of the 20th century without a nut and, therefore, incomplete.
- The weight is 7.2 cm high, 7.2 cm in diameter and weighs 148 grams.
- The bronze weight has the shape of a sphere. It is vertically perforated, with a bolt that serves as a tip at one end and as a thread for the head at the other end. Very curious and rare.
- 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.
Preservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, although the Weight has several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- There is a very good and beautiful patina all over the plumb bob, as well as traces of paint.
- The quality of the casting and the execution of the Weight is very good.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it"s age.
