One of the famous Viking styles is called Borre style, named after the grave find of Borre in Vestfold / Norway, which dates to the 9th-10th century and represents the second phase of the Nordic grip style and was especially widespread in eastern Scandinavia.
This so-called Borre style was often used as a decorative element on Viking jewellery. It is particularly characterized by mirror-symmetrical motifs, such as circles and squares, which are often expressed in braided ribbon ornamentation, such as ring chains and pretzel knots, where several mythical creatures are often connected with geometric knot formations.
