I am moving this over to the Miscellaneous Forum because i am not convinced either of these were intended to be hilts for weapons. But i am fairly sure that if they were, they are not keris hilts. Only one has a hole for a tang and that hope seems more likely made to fit something other than a keris pesi.
I also don't believe either of these are meant to be deities. Certainly not Hanuman or Bhima. Though they might relate to some mythological storyline. The first one seems to be seated on a snake and the second one on a turtle. Anyone know any stories that make such connections?
