Time has taken its toll, but the excellent craftsmanship shines through this #Viking dragon head, nonetheless. Found in the Tomb of the Boat of Oseberg, Norway. 9th century. Exhibited at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, Norway.

@vikinghistoric Interesting that both Europe and Asia has dragons.
@vikinghistoric Of the ceremonial dragons heads discovered aboard the Oseberg ships burial mound some reflect the influence of existing animals, in head design influence such as the snow leopard or in the case of the head pictured here, in my own personal opinion the Irish wolf hound canine.
@vikinghistoric I just remembered that you can just go visit museums. Cya later X.
