It is Sassanian silver head of Senmurv and it was draco-like banner as mentioned by man who found this peace in the rests of ritual complex in the woods near Ostiyako-Vogulsk. Dated by VII-VIII centuries A.D.
More info and line drawings of this piece you can find in my short article in Russian (please use on-line translator)
