Don't know if this helps but here is the ivory hilt of my one and only Bali keris - the form is Ravana from the Ramayana (I did the gold work).

O.K. i'll play just to show off my ignorance.
Top left looks like Ganesha to me and the top right could be Hanuman (i can't see if he has a tail or not.
Bottom left looks like what i believe is often called Bayu. The bottom right i am not sure. It looks like it has fangs so i am guessing it is a demon of some sort.
Next.....?

Yep, Ganesha is pretty recognisable.

Here's a couple more pics of Hanuman.

As for our other two little mates, I'm inclined to wait a while and see if anybody else has some opinions.

Yep, H.A. Numan is a bit nice. Had a lot of these over the years, but this fellow is probably the nicest. Material is buffalo horn.
