Description:
- Incomplete plumb bob for construction, from the second half of the 19th century, with a solid bronze weight and integrated head.
- The body of the weight has the shape of a double cylinder, with a central ring, 10,8 cm. long, 7,9 cm. diameter and 1.922 gr. weight.
- Very curious and rare, it is a very large plumb bob, used for long ropes, that is to say, to take the vertical from great heights.
- 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.
Preservation and damage:
- The plumb bob is in a good state of preservation, although the body has many knocks and scratches, signs of use.
- The plumb bob has a very good and beautiful patina throughout. It has small casting defects, but the execution of the plumb bob is very good.
- The plumb bob shows the wear and tear of its age.
