It is noted as the first Scandinavian style produced in settlements in Iceland, England, and Russia. The style is characterized by the use of ribbon-like, gripping animals, frontally positioned, with polygonal hips, and an overall design composed of equilateral forms in static, repetitive arrangements that emphasize geometric shapes. ]]></note></mads>
