You are right, but the main thing is the top of the hilt - a horse head.
The hilt you now show is a different hilt as the one you showed earlier, and 'maybe' this could have some connection to Tipu - I dont really know, as I am not a specialist on Tipu.
Maybe the 'bubris's' are not that, maybe they are 'cintamani's'.
Attached the sword I referred to in my former mail.
