BRONZE PLUMB BOB PERICO. ACORN. 19 CENTURY.

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 of them are equipped with a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- This parakeet has a threaded head. The thread is large in size and diameter, with a medium thread and pitch. The curious thing is that the thread is on the opposite side to the usual.
- It has a curious shape that, as a whole, gives the appearance of an acorn.
- 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.
