Abstract
We present a physically reasonable source for an static, axially--symmetric solution to the Einstein equations. Arguments are provided, supporting our belief that the exterior space--time produced by such source, describing a quadrupole correction to the Schwarzschild metric, is particularly suitable (among known solutions of the Weyl family) for discussing the properties of quasi--spherical gravitational fields.
