Description
This cannonball is a large caliber iron projectile to be fired by artillery; the sheath is cylinder-shaped topped with a silver-colored spherical tip. It still contains explosive material. It does not show data of its origin or manufacture.
It was donated to the museum to bear witness to the armed clashes between the Yaquis and the federal government in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
