That's exactly what creates an interesting narrative, why is the dragon pointed inwards...perhaps someone or something the boat was transporting dictated it be watched by the figurehead.

Before ships had a stemhead on which to mount a figurehead, it wasn't uncommon to see the bow come to an inward point at all, however, I agree, I've never seen an actual figurehead, facing inward.

Check out a Greek Trireme for an example of an inward facing decorative feature at the tip of the bow. I suspect this is what influenced OP's subconscious and resulted in the non-sequitur formation we are discussing. These did have decorative figures on the stern, facing inward, but that is the direction of travel in the rear, and makes much better sense.
