The Ringerike style is a Scandinavian art style from the Viking period that was widespread from the beginning to the second half of the 11th century, named after the Norwegian landscape Ringerike. The style developed from the Mammen style, with influences from Ottonian and Anglo-Saxon book illumination, and uses motifs such as lion, bird and snake in a tighter, more natural design. A fine addition to your equipment for Viking period re-enactment.
