I was thinking about this the whole time I was reading this thread! I have always thought that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. might be a 'peridexion tree' (which I think is what this is). They were very common in medieval herbals and almost always drawn with the same elements.
Basically, a tree with doves/pigeons in it and then a dragon waiting down below to eat/attack them. It was supposed to be a metaphor for Chistianity (like everything else in the medieval period), with the doves being Christians who are protected within the salvation of the tree (the Chruch/Chistianity) and the dragon being basically everyone else (because they are evil and deceptive etc.).
Here is an example of what they tended to look like with a rather unfortunate dove who tried to leave the tree.
I actually have another guess which doesn't involve a dragon at all but I'll leave it out of this dragon-centric thread.
