About the "Jaing Head" Mandalorian Crest
This emblem is found on Boba Fett's left shoulder armor.. "The traditional Mandalorian crest, frequently mistaken for a Bantha Skull, bears a striking resemblance to the skull of a male mythosaur. But in truth, the symbol was actually adopted in reverence to a legendary Mandalorian combat-training master." (Source: "History of the Mandalorians," Star Wars Insider #80) Who's the legendary Mandalorian combat-training master? Jaing. So this is sometimes also considered a "Jaing Head."
According to starwars.com:
Mandalorian "Krybes" (unknown) is probably the most prolific symbol of the Mandalorians and also a topic of much conjecture. Its origins are obscure, and there are several camps on the origin of the symbol. The first camp states that the skull is that of a "Bantha," and while I can't put my finger on the origin of this camp...the skull symbol itself looks nothing like that of a Bantha. The second camp states that the symbol pays homage to an ancient Mandalorian training master, which is backed up in the Star Wars Insider article; "The History of the Mandalorians" by Abel G. Peña. Finally, the third camp states that the symbol is based on the skulls of ancient "Mythosaurs", city-sized reptiles that dominated the surface of early Mandalore before the arrival of the Taung species.
