^Lot 1694 Bronze cannonball, rare, ex-Capitana (1654).

Bronze cannonball, rare, ex-Capitana (1654). 21.30 lbs; 5" diameter. Very rare, heavy and large cannonball from the Capitana, among about 30 found, and reportedly the only shipwreck to carry bronze armaments (which held up much better than iron), professionally conserved, with a mottled brown appearance, spots of green encrustation, very attractive for display. From the Capitana (1654), with original (generic) certificate and Sedwick certificate from 2001, pedigreed to the Mike Carulli Collection.
