Very interesting, I like it. However I don't think the "elephant" motif is an elephant. I would suggest it is a
Caucasian badger.

Better and more likely the "elephant" motif is probably an Aralez. What seem like elephant ears are wings and the animal is depicted in the act of licking so to heal wounds.
The other motifs also relate to Armenian mythology.
