Congrats on winning the Barung.
There is no mistaking the carving for other than a Naga.

Here is a photo of the hilt on my Barung beside the hilt on DaveS example, (which is published in Cato's book). Almost a negative image of each other.

All three are so similar that it makes me wonder if they're the products of the same carver.
