  Yes, I think they represent fishes, at least that's what they look like to me. You can't see well in the photo, but they have "tails" consisting of opposed spirals.

  Eva, they are from a bronze age site in Java, from the so-called "Dong Son" period in Javanese civilization. The term "Dong Son", of course refers to the seminal civilization in what is now Vietnam, which is seen as having launched a cultural and technological diaspora throughout maritime Southeast Asia in the centuries bracketing the beginning of the Christian Era. Year 0.

  Beautiful! So they are from before the Hindu Javanese period, very interesting.

  Fish might be, like the frogs fertility (water).
