Here is an interesting blog post about historical design. Many hilts some by famous artists. They use the form and embellish in the popular styles of the time.
Enjoy Sword Hilts

Hi Glen
Some are a bit over the top for my taste but I especially like this one.
It is a similar idea to an early Indian sword I have seen that had a whole city depicted on the pommel.
