Most of the examples i have seen of winged elephants carved on blades are rather recent. Is your example an older one. The new examples i have seen do not seem to adhere to any rules of number of luks. I have seen this motif carved on everything from a straight (lurus) blade to 13 luk blades like Bill's and everything in between.
Are you aware of what the significance of the number of luks in the tradition form you speak of means or what place or meaning this particular winged elephant motif might serve?
