Finally managed to get some pics from my friend's and here are some more detailed ones. I'd think the smaller/shorter cannon is more moro but still not sure of the other larger one.

Very decorative and beautiful piece. I suspect it is not a fighting cannon or is newer than 1600 AD. Proportions are slightly off, perhaps this is distortion from camera angle, but there are several details that place this as different from a pre-1600s fighting cannon.

Still a neat piece!
