Default question about Bali Hilts

Lately i bought this Bali hilt (danganan); some age i.mo. and made of a very light wood. But the expression of the face and the body attracted my attention.

I know there is a lot of Hindu-influence with Bali hilts. So this hilt form probably represents a mystical creature from the mahabharata.

Does someone know the name of this form / creature ?

Could someone tell me what the meaning is of the position of the hands of this bali hilt ?
