The piece is Javanese. It is about three inches tall and the stones are inten. I know the stones are inten because I had them installed.

It is only the third that I have seen. The first was split by a shovel strike while excavating it and the bottom half was flattened out on both sides of the split. The metal is gold and is right now filled with wax to provide support to figure. Besides replacing the inten some small tears of the material was repaired.
I will have to make more photographs to furnish all side views, but basically it is extremely similar to the figures from Cirebon.
