Aitor, Robert and others,<br>
<br>
I can add the photo of a dragon standard head, that is exhibited in the Hermitage St. Petersburg.<br>
<br>

<br>
I found following information: "It is made of silver and comes from the Government of Perm in Russia. This Sassanian piece of the 7th century A.D. shows a dragon-like head of hybrid (dog- or wolf-shaped) character with an open mouth and chased embossé decoration. It also has a vertical perforation for a pole".<br>
<br>
You can find this information and more on the following site:<br>
