As with many things Indonesian there is probably more than one meaning at work here, but i believe that what you refer to is probably firstly meant to represent the Tumpal Throne that we see in many Bali hilts as well as a few Javanese ones. But given the positioning off the figure it does often seem to look like a flow of the figures urine.
I found this article discussing this little fellow as well.
