While there is considerable variety within the style, it is generally characterized by the use of semi-naturalistic, gripping animals and a formal composition that disposes motifs of equal size over an area, to form a carpet-like design. The style seems to exhibit some connection with the Anglo-Saxon Trewhiddle style. ]]></note></mads>
