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 pericoids have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Solid bronze plumb bob, with a threaded head and iron tip.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch. The head is knurled for a better grip.
