(Watch not included). In heraldry a dragon varies greatly in especially in the shape of its ears, however the wings are those of a bat. The tongue and the tail can often be barbed and breathes out fire, it is also a symbol of power, wisdom and the one who has overcome an adversary. The poets Aneirin and Taliesin use the Welsh word for dragon – ‘draig’ in the sense of a warrior of leader. This use is reflected in the Arthurian Legends where the British chiefs in times of extreme danger were conferred in the title – ‘Pendragon’ or headed-dragon, investing them with supreme power, such as that granted to Uther Pendragon, King Arthur’s father. |
