Looks like miniature Tombak.
Haven't seen them that small before.

They are two tombaks . Sometimes small tombaks are put by indonesian people inside walking stik.

Whatever they are, what do you think about the pamor? Quality?

Personally I don't like the carving on the dress. I may mount them in a shadow box frame with the smooth side of the dress out.

------------------------

Just got a private email from a man who really knows Indonesian pieces. They are not tombaks according to him. They are more rare, however.

Let's see what other people think.

Any other opinions?

About quality of dress is better to say nothing.
Tombaks seems rather new. One pamor is ganggeng kanyut (on the left), the other seems bendo segodo.
