Pillars and statues

{Behold, the citizens of Roman Jakarta shall be safe under my ever-vigilant wings}

This residential house in Kemang is a source of endless entertainment whenever I drive by.  Is that an eagle or a garuda or a vulture? Is it about to lift-off or land? Are the six pillars a coy symbol of the Islamic rukun iman or an echo of the glorious roman ionian legacy on the other side of the world?  What distressed damsel lives in that lonesome turret right underneath the claws of the gigantic bird? 

I need answers, goddammit, answers!
