Boron style
The Borre style (or griffin style) is a style phase of early medieval art that emerged from the 9th to 10th centuries . It is named after the village of Borre in the Norwegian municipality of Horten . The style is characterized by animal and knot ornaments. It is followed by the Jelling style.
Other styles of Northern Europe , some of which are only regionally widespread, from the Migration Period to the Viking Age are:
- Style I - III after B. Salin from the 5th century
- Vendelstil AE according to G. Arwidson 7th to 8th centuries corresponds to groups II and III according to B. Salin.
- Oseberg style from the 8th to 9th centuries
- Berdal style in the 9th century, the first own Viking Age art style
- Jelling style in the second half of the 10th century
- Mommy style in the 11th century
- Ringerike style from 10th to 11th centuries
- Urn style from the 11th to 12th centuries
The latter two are also used in the design of early Christian Irish books and are understood here as Anglo-Saxon-Germanic and Celtic-Irish.
