It is in Indonesian, so I just give a summary:
- Singa Barong was made in 1649 and used by the Sultan
- Paksi Naga Liman was made in 1428 and used by Sunan Gunung Jati
- Both symbolize 3 animals: Paksi (Bouraq, represents Egypt/Islam), Naga (Dragon, represents China/Buddhism), Liman (Elephant, represents India/Hinduism).
Attached the picture of both carriages, in one of them is written Paksi Naga Liman

Interesting, I must visit this place when I have the opportunities in future.
