Description:
- Plumb bob bronze construction with fixed head and without nut. Spectacular.
- The body of the weight is cone shaped. It has a large size, making it a rare and high quality plumb bob.
- There are chiselled bands all along the body of the plumb bob.
- The body of the plumb bob has a ring at the equator of the dial, which gives it great aesthetic appeal.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on where it was made, the maker,s details, or any other information.
- The Plumb bob is probably made in southern Europe, with the possibility that its place of manufacture is located in Spain.

Conservation and Damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, but has many knocks and scratches, both on the edges and on the faces.
- The cast iron of the Pesa has no imperfections.
- Very good and nice period patina is preserved throughout the Plumb bob.

Comments:
- Both the Measurements and the Weight are approximate.
- Very interesting as a collector,s item and as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
