Roman bronze dragon’s head standard, AD 190-260.
Originally mounted on a pole, with a long fabric tube attached to the back of the head. When charging on horseback, the wind inflated the tube and the dragon shrieked!

A group of hospital physicians met for a virtual rounds meeting.
What they didn't realize was that Otter.ai was on the call, too.
