PERICO PLUMB BOB. BRONZE. PEAR TYPE. S.XIX.

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.

- Bronze perico without a nut. It has a threaded head.
- Bronze thread, of medium size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- The body of the weight is solid bronze. The head has a fluted border for a better grip.
