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 have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Perico with bronze weight, threaded head and steel tip.
- The steel head has a nut-ended thread to facilitate tightening.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- It has a very peculiar and original shape. The nut is a brass ring, and may be original to the plumb bob.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found, which 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.

- The perico is in a good state of preservation, although the Pesa 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 all over the perico.

- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it,s age.
