The second of the major Viking styles is called the Borre style and takes its name from the famous grave find at Borre in Vestfold, Norway, which dates to the 9th-10th century. The Borre style represents the second phase of the Nordic griffin style and was quite widespread, especially in eastern Scandinavia.
The Borre style is mainly characterized by mirror-symmetrical motifs, such as circles and squares, which are often expressed in interlace ornamentation, such as ring chains and pretzel knots, whereby different mythical animals are also frequently associated with the geometric knot work
