These last 2 postings show nice hilts Marco, but they don't quite meet the definition of "figural". Certainly they have features that are meant, in their abstract way, to hint at human or animal form, but to my mind these are abstract hilts attempting to disguise the figural form probably due to Islamic restriction of such depiction.
