Dear Anh,
This sculpture is a Khmer stele maybe made of sandstone.It represents a kind of apsara(dancing female deity)though here it seems to be a male,surrounded by two snakes or more probably two sea monsters.I can't identify what the figure is holding and I can't say whether your sculpture is old or a copy made to look old.
That's all I can tell you ,except it's an interesting piece.
Best regards,
Rémy

Dear Anh,
It's difficult to give an estimate to your stele
because we don't know whether it's a copy or an original.If it's an original it can be thousands dollars or much more(size must be considered too).If you bought it , my feeling is it's a copy.But if it is in your family for long,then that makes a big difference!(anyway if it's the case, chances are good that you would know what it is or at least whether it's valuable).
The other is a Khmer(female)deity too and is a copy,no doubt.The estimate?As for the stele, a copy(as ANY copy)must be considered as a second hand object and it's value can be around a hundred dollars.But an original is an " antique" and it's value can really be astonomical.
If in the future I can help you again don't hesitate.
Best regards,
Rémy

Dear Ahn,
Your two Khmer pieces are copies(or made in the style)of originals from the VIIth to the Xth century.
