Description:
- Complete plumb bob for the Construction of the First Half of the XXI Century, with bronze weight and threaded head.
- Short size and large diameter thread, with medium pitch and thread.
- The shape of its body is cylindrical, with a cone at the lower base and a threaded hole at the upper base, into which the bolt of its head is screwed.
- The shape of its head is a sphere, with a hexagon at its base, from which protrudes a threaded bolt for screwing the head to the body. The whole head has a central hole for the rope guide.
- The nut is horizontal, made of solid bronze. It is cylindrical in shape, tapering in the middle, so that the rope can be wound onto it. The nut has a perforation perpendicular to it"s axis, and in it"s centre, to guide the rope.
- Along the length of the body, there are two subtle deep grooves, creating a harmonious overall effect.
- 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:
