The image, captured in an Anglo-Saxon manuscript, now resides in the prestigious British Museum in London. The mythical creature depicted on the prow of this magnificent vessel is none other than a fearsome dragon, symbolizing power and strength. Its vibrant colors bring life to the artwork, highlighting intricate details that were painstakingly crafted by an unknown creator.
