Perhaps. Still i see very little stylistic links to the kocet-kocetan. The posture is different, there are "human" legs and arms and an object is held in the hands. Horses are a common theme in Madurese hilts so it doesn't seem too far fetched that a horse theme was the original intent here as well.
