Description
This cannonball is a large caliber iron projectile to be fired by artillery; this piece is smaller than the other two projectiles displayed in the museum. Regarding its state of conservation, it can be seen that the entire surface is covered by rust.
It was donated to the museum to bear witness to the armed confrontations between the Yaquis and the federal government at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
