Description:
- Plumb bob built in the second half of the 18th century, without nut and with threaded head.
- The weight is 8,8 cm in height, cm in diameter and gr. in weight.
- The thread is small in size and diameter, with a medium thread and pitch.
- It has a ring at the equator of the dial, which gives it a great aesthetic appeal.
- It has a peculiarity, and that is that the patina on the head has changed. It has a much more coppery colour than the rest of the plumb bob, which makes it rarer.
- 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 weight has many knocks and scratches, both on the edges and edges, as well as on the faces.
- A spectacular patina has been preserved on the entire plumb bob.
- The quality of the casting and the execution of the weight is good.
- The Plumb bob shows wear typical of it's age.
