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.
- This perico has a threaded head. The thread is of medium size and small diameter, with a thread and a small pitch.
- There is a small chiselled border on the body of the plumb bob.
- The nut, original to the perico, has two small grooves of subtle depth.
- It is beautiful and very curious, as it is difficult to find a perico with a nut, and rarer still, that it is the original one.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information about the place where it was made, the maker's details, or any other information.
- The plumb bob was probably made in southern Europe.
Conservation and Damage:
- The perico is in a good state of preservation, with several knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- A spectacular patina has been preserved all over the perico.
- The tip is worn due to use.
- The quality of the casting and the execution of the plumb bob is good.
- It has a very small casting flaw on the body.
- The plumb bob shows wear and tear typical of it’s age.
