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 fitted with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Bronze plumb bob with threaded head. We have fitted it with a new string.
- Large thread size and diameter, with small thread and pitch.
- The head of the plumb bob has two marks made by hand.
- Solid bronze, probably made on a lathe, whose marks can be seen along the body and on the top.
- 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 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 very good and beautiful patina has been preserved throughout the plumb bob.
- 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.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not equal to the tones of the real colours.
- The object for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed description of the object.
