That is an unusual hilt on an otherwise pure Indian piece. The only Tibetan quality I see in this piece is that the pommel is trifoiled like those on Tibetan swords but nothing else in the hilt hints at Tibetan so I think this is a coincidence rather than an influence. I think it is pure Indian with a very unusual one of a kind hilt.
