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 pericos are fitted with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- Bronze plumb bob with threaded head. The thread is small in size and diameter, with a small thread and pitch.
- Solid bronze, probably made on a lathe, the marks of which can be seen on the upper part of the body.
