Construction: Cast iron shell.

Condition: Very good, excavated. The shell's surface is very smooth with nearly no pitting. A visible mold seam is present. At some point a threaded hole was tapped into the shell wall so that the shell could be displayed on the accompanying wood stand upon which it easily screws onto. In script lettering on a brass plaque affixed to the stand is "Confederate 12 lb. Spherical Shell for 4.62 Inch Caliber Gun". This empty shell was cleaned and treated with electrolysis. There are no repairs.
