Default Figural hilts of 1 character?!

This is an extention of the jawa demam and raksasa discussions going on.
Here are four figural hilts that I used to call raksasa as in the flesh eating demon from the ramayana.

They have a series of characteristics that can be found in each one (and one small difference which makes two subtypes to me)

Who can help specify/identify the specific character?
  • Front of head with a diadem
    Mouth with stylized fangs
    Beaklike nose with a sort of lip?
    To the side of the head some sort of hairy/flowerlike extension of the hair.
    Clearly identifyable hands and knees both with bracelets
    Position of hand on knees (right hand sideways to the knee, left hand over the knee
    Position of fingers (right hand with pinkee to the belly, left hand with the thumb to the belly)
    Sitting on a throne of leaves (tumbal?)
    Necklace type A ending flowerlike type B clearly snakelike
    Long hair stretching unto the back

Well that was all I could find and here are the photo's!
