"Here another example of a Dragon ( Monster) head from an english? hanger.I would date it around 1700.Certainly it has a hunting sword or short side arm background.The Dragon is a symbol for strength,might and wisdom in the time of baroque."  
 
If it's a hunting hangar, which it is, it could easily be the head of a hunting hound. 
Best wishes
