Hi David,
Yes, your's a nice Balinese Ganesha hilt form. But I do believe that Michael's is a Ganesha form as well, which has been veiled with floral and vegetative foliage.

An example of the hilt form can be found in:
Ref: M Kerner's - Keris-Griffe Aus Museen Und Privatsammlungen, Pg: 70, Fig: G89. Batara Ganesha hilt form.
