This hilt appears to have a crown, and as far as I can see, no other attribute, so then we ask:- who wears a crown?

There are numerous examples of the prabhu form in published works.
Thank you Maisey. One more question, what's the meaning of making a hilt as a king statue? I thought ordinary they should be certain god or demon.
