I am going to sound really outrageous especially as I know little about these things but look hard at the snake and I am sure is has curved pincers at the mouth and the over all look is one of a centipede or millipede insect. I also believe that dogs can be auspicious animals in many parts of the world. These symbols could be saying I can hunt and find you like a dog and ferociously devour you like the millipede. I think we have seen dogs on other S,E,A weapons.

Edit, the so called Naga also has antennae so if I am reading the pictures correctly I am sure it is an insect. These pictures are not of a weapon, a Borneo? smoking pipe, the only S,E,A thing I have that shows the use of the dog as a symbol. Tim
