Kalung Aso' is a dragon/dog motive on a dayak shield. Anyone knows the meaning of it? why dragon/dog?

Better yet if u know
the two other motives means..

taking the easy copy paste method since I am honestly novice on this subject...

Like all Dayak shields, the painted outer imagery on this Kayan shield, was meant to psychologically confuse and repel an enemy. The most common design on painted kliau are demon-like faces surrounded by tufts of hair assembled from the dispatched heads of enemies. ... Conversely, if the front of a Dayak shield displayed aggressive visual imagery aimed at an enemy, what did the inside designs signify? Were those images for personal reflection, or did they in some way represent a form of supernatural power that was intended to protect, aid, or extort a warrior to valor and victory? The back of this particular Kayan shield depicts two slightly different dragon-like beasts interfacing with one another. These mystical beasts, called aso, were commonly found in Dayak art and were generally thought to confer protection upon those who possessed this image. Other shields depict rows of human-like figures or abstract anthropomorphic designs. Sadly, without the long departed painters' explications, we will never know the deepest meanings of their designs.
