Description:
- Plumb-bob construction from the first half of the 20th century without a nut and, therefore, incomplete.
- The weight is 3,9 cm high, 3,9 cm in diameter and weighs 200 gr.
- The Weight, made entirely of bronze, has the shape of three superimposed cylinders with flat faces, ending in the shape of a cone with an integrated head.
- The Weight is perforated vertically, having made a larger cavity in its lower part, which allows the string to pass through and its knot to be lodged in the aforementioned cavity, and therefore integrated in the Weight.
- The quality of the casting and execution of the weight is very good.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the manufacturer's details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
Preservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, although the weight has several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- There is a very good and beautiful patina all over the plumb bob, as well as traces of paint.
- The quality of the bronze casting and the execution of the plumb bob is very good.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it's age.
