Rick, I am out too, but I have a last comment. You may be right about the Balinese carving tradition on these figures, but what I was more interested in was the iconography, not the carving technique.

I guess we may be on the same page here Jens but I am not quite positive .
The figures in the links presented lack the typical Balinese embellishments as are seen on the keris handles we have discussed ; so I see them as not really Balinese in nature .

Seems to be a somewhat more conventional representation with respect to the trunk, although the hand postures are atypical. This one does not strike me as being very old.
