Two 17th or 18th century Lantaka cannons or swivel guns from South east Asia. This type of gun was commonly equipped on native seafaring vessels from the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia and derived from the swivel guns mounted on Portuguese and Spanish ships of the 16th century.
The cannon looks good, but the Oak baseplate is outstanding. I wonder how it stayed in such good condition for 3 centuries.
