Bird and Croc?

After looking longer at the scabbard from different views and light I tend to believe what you see as the lower jaw is the leg of the bird or dragon.
And what you describe as splashing water respectively tail is the tail.

That makes a lot more sense thanks Detlef.

What I thought were eyes, what do you think they represent within the bird?

It really is an exceptional example of the type. Congratulations.

Hi Gav,

First, I am not sure if we see a bird here, I tend to Garuda. Would be nice to read what others think.
And no clue what the both spirals should represent.
