Dragon = Alduin/Akatosh
Snake = Shor/Lorkhan
Hawke = Kyne/Kynareth
Whale = Tsun/Zenithar
-The snake the whale and the hawk appear in Nordic tomb frequently, Lorkhan known as Shor to the Nords, is the leader of the Nordic pantheon, and is refereed to as a snake by many, the snake being a symbol of trickery, and Lorkhan being the trickster god.
-Kyne, the goddess of air, is Shor's wife, being the ruler of air, the symbol of the Hawk/Eagle fits her
-Tsun is Shor's Shield thane, his bodyguard, and died defending Shor against foreign gods. In Sovengarde, Tsun defends the whalebone bridge, the bridge of his own corpse.
This also explains why these three symbols appears so frequency in Nordic tombs, the symbols of the leader of the gods, his wife, and his bodyguard, are placed in tombs to honor the dead.
