Note that the Visconti serpent isn't exactly fire-breathing: it's got a tiny fellow in its mouth. Check Marco's wiki link: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
But about the squiggles, I'm intrigued. Our best guess for the "weirdo" is a "V", and the standing serpent is a symbol of the Visconti. As Marco said, the sun is also a Visconti symbol, so you've got a link between sun-squiggle-V.
The writing in the flower remains the hardest to prove.. it seems that there are as many interpretations as there are ideas about the overall meaning of the image.
But the weirdo... I wonder whether a "V" with this sign on top would have been a dead give-away to the right eyes?
