For my Chinese lantern and was looking for an interesting wall mount. I saw the dragon head and looked up remixes.
I liked the idea of creating a lantern mount from a dragon head.

So what was created: 

Inside the head, I made a hole to run the electrical cable through.

I experimented with shields and came up with three shield options.
The first original shield and two shields that I made smaller and have different shapes.
 

There are also two ring options 
The first is the original ring.
The second ring has an internal void for the electric cable.
The unsupported seal is made of two halves that need to be assembled and glued together.

Be careful when assembling the ring. 
You put the cable inside the two halves of the ring (they are different, so you need to print the two parts).
Then you insert the half ring into the dragon's head and only then assemble the rest of the ring.

The horns are also glued to the base.
Subsequently, sanding will be required.

I've printed on a variety of materials and they all print with no problems.
I used the standard printer settings.
The support is tree-based.

How to position the head for support is shown in the illustrations. 

Filling:
I used 5% - 10% fill and tried different structures, gyroid, mesh and hexagonal honeycomb.
I didn't see much difference between them.

Print time is 19-23 hours on my printer depending on print density.
Nozzle 0.4 

 Warning:
The original dragon head file does NOT fit these files, as the aspect ratio and dimensions have been changed.
I have uploaded all possible files here. Also uploaded the files for your independent design.
 

Thank you. I would appreciate it if you could share a photo of your work and your impression of this work.
 

I modified the dragon head designs, added holes for the electrical wire. I created a new ring to hold the lantern. I added two variants of the shield to mount the dragon head.
