Mammen style

Timeline for the Norse animal styles.

The Mammen style is a phase of Scandinavian animal art during the late 10th century and the early 11th century.^[1] The style is named after finds from a chamber tomb in Mammen on Jutland, Denmark.^[1] The finds included a silver engraved axe of which one side shows a markedly stylized animal with long appendages braided along the body.^[1] There are animal representations that can have a more realistic style, like one of the lions on the Jelling stones.^[1] During this style there was an introduction of plant motifs.^[1]

The animal ornamentation of the Viking Age is usually categorized into Oseberg style, Borre style, Jelling style, Mammen style, Ringerike style and Urnes style.^[2]
