I have an unknown sumatran keris motif for identification. Not sure whether it is a singa barong or naga?
Quite clearly a naga in my book - the larger one even has scales and a snake-like body (albeit cut short)...

I think that one of these is in Minangkabau dress, while the other is in Palembang dress.
I'd go for Lampung and eastern Sumatra: probably Riau hinterlands with Minang influence (possibly Indragiri?).
