I knew I'd seen something similar to Alan Lee's Dragon helm design before and here it is, The Benty Grange Boar Helmet.

Alan Lee's known for basing his artwork on real life examples, this could be another inspiration. His painting of Tom Bombadil's house is based on Dartmoor cottages and his sketches of the Barrow Downs on real barrows in Orkney.
