PERICO BRONZE PLUMB BOB. FIXED HEAD. S.XVIII

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.
- The body of the plumb bob has a curious shape, with several grooves along the body, which gives it great aesthetic appeal.
- As can be seen, it has several knocks and was filled with lime mortar, which suggests that it has been used a lot.
- 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.
- A spectacular patina has been preserved throughout the plumb bob.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it's age.
