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 pericos have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- It retains its original nut, which is square and solid bronze.
- 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 good state of preservation, although the weight has several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- A very good and beautiful patina has been preserved on the entire plumb bob.
- The quality of the bronze casting and the execution of the plumb bob is very good.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it,s age.

Comments:
- Both the measurements and the weight are approximate.
