No Sajen, I agree with you, and this is why some (mostly Western) people call them vegetation god... Nice collection by the way!

Well, as someone who seems to be especially prone to pareidolia i also see faces in the vegetal design of these hilts. I suppose it is debatable if these faces are intentional or not, but to me it seems likely that as Islamic restrictions on depicting human form came into play this was the result.
