O soše
The ivory Dragon's Head, dated 1100–1150, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, may once have capped a diagonal support on a folding chair. Its form recalls the larger carvings on Viking ships' prows. The head, patterned acanthus leaves and a neck mask sprouting foliage belong to the Romanesque vocabulary of northern Europe and Anglo-Norman art. On view in room 106C Medieval Treasury.
Slovy muzea
This exceedingly rare medieval carving, which recalls the more monumental carvings on Viking ship prows, may have been a finial for a diagonal member of a folding chair. The character of the head, the stylized acanthus leaves, and the foliage-spouting mask on the neck are characteristic of north European and Anglo-Norman Romanesque styles.
