Please Help ID Carved Horn Deities

Thanks for your reply and thoughts, most appreciated!

I assumed the figures (or at least one) was/is a deity (Hanuman) given that it appears to be strangling a serpent, wearing a loincloth, have Javanese Monkey God-like features and its forehead is centered with some form of "jewel". I also assume edge weapon given the size and curvature of the objects. They fit well in-hand almost like a handle/hilt. Again, I'm at a total loss of the who, what, when and where.

Hopefully, someone here can please help direct me in the correct path ??
