Also, some people think the rashaksa type hilt, esp like hilts 1 and 2, could be depicting Garuda, because of the prominent nose/beak. And Garuda was described in some old texts as a man with bird-like features. I thought there could be such a possibility. If carvers want to depict a divine figure, why not a major deity, instead of a generic rashaksa/giant?
