The Jelling style developed in the second half of the 10th century at the Danish royal court in Jelling (Jutland). The characteristics of the Jelling style are band and S-shaped animal figures.
The Jelling style was used on wooden, metal and stone utilitarian objects, jewellery and runic crosses and arose from the increased contact of the Scandinavian with the Anglo-Saxon world during the Viking Age, in whose art slender, elongated animal figures were already used.
Through these Anglo-Saxon influences, the gripping beast that dominated Viking art styles was replaced as the main motif and was now replaced by ribbon-shaped animal figures depicted in profile.
