The ysgrepan is the Welsh version of a sporran as shown in the illustrations above. The word simply mean "scrip" or "purse".
They do have a dragon embossed on the flap along with a clever and unusual closure.
The illustrations show the day one (the second photo) which is decorated with goat hair and the more formal one (the first photo) which also has horse hair (the long black dangly bits).
Another variation is simply a semi dress sporran with a golden dragon on the flap.
Such items blend together with Scottish tartans and PCs much better than the other way around with the Welsh PC.
