It's a Singa Barong. It's right leg seems to have came off a little. The ganja is missing, but can be remade, if you wanted to.

I especially like the short Palembang piece and the one marked no.2 by Mans.
Up close, some of these kerisses are of good quality, less missing its fittings. Congrats! on obtaining these.
