[MoE]
一種古代的鍘頭刑具。刑具分有等級, 龍頭鍘的對象大都屬於王公貴族。
《三俠五義.第一五回》
只見四名衙役, 將龍頭鍘抬至堂上, 安放周正。

[百度百科]龙头铡是封建社会的死刑用具 。龙头铡为犯法的皇亲国戚准备

百度百科 also mentions “虎头铡” and “狗头铡”, I don't find these in dictionaries and they're probably less common; I don't think it is necessary to add those.

有常設三口鍘刀:龍頭鍘(火龍鍘)專鍘無道謀逆之皇親國戚,虎頭鍘專鍘文武貪濁污惡之百官,而狗頭鍘(犬頭鍘)專鍘窮凶極惡之平民百姓,三口鍘刀亦有先斬後奏之權。

Here's a pic of of all three -- dog-head, dragon-head and tiger-head guillotines.
