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 pericots have a nut, which allows them to be used as a support.
- The perico is made by turning. The shape of its body is conical and its head is fixed.
- Made from a single piece, it has a very beautiful and curious shape.
- No distinguishing mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on where it was made, the maker,s details, or any other information.
- The perico was probably made in southern Europe.

- The perico is in a very good state of preservation, with some knocks and rubbing, both on the edges and on the edges.
- The plumb-bob has a very good and beautiful patina throughout.
- The plum bob perico shows wear typical of it’s age.
