I'd tend to agree with the crowns signifying "royal" or magestic beasts such as those ridden by deities as opposed to Batak influence.
Even in western hearldry beasts such as lions and elk are sometimes similarly displayed.
Both pieces are exceptionally well done, IMHO as well, and may well have been made for owners of royal bloodlines as well, although this, of course, is pure speculation.
