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 are equipped with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Steel plumb bob with threaded head.
- Small thread size and diameter, with medium thread and pitch.
- Iron head, with the thread ending in a nut.
- The tip is very curious, with a very peculiar shape.
- Solid steel, probably made with a lathe, the marks of which can be seen along the 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 plumb bob is in a very good state of preservation, with some knocks and rubbing, both on the edges and on the edges.
- The plumb bob has a very good and beautiful patina throughout.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it's age.

Comments:
- Both the measurements and the weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector's item and as a decorative element.
