Hulu origin?

Gentlemen,

I received today the book by Martin Kerner about ukirans.

There he mentioned the bird on the maduran ukiran. It is not a cockatoo but it represents a Phenix. A bird from the chinese mythology that shows the strong conection between Madura and China

Could it also be linked to an earlier Hindu motif (Hinduism being an early influence in the islands) like Garuda, the vehicle of Visnu?

Sorry, to be getting back so late on this thread. Our Veterinarian, was sure this hulu was made from an antler. Sure enough here is a nicely carved Ebay item with the same porous texture on top. It was stated to be antler. Thank you all for your responses and advice
