Oseberg style

Machine-translated from the Spanish article

The Oseberg style, also known as the Oseberg-Broa style, is the first phase of the Viking zoomorphic decorative styles. It owes its name to the Oseberg ship burial, which contained richly decorated wooden objects, and to a grave in the locality of Broa, Sweden. The characteristic motif of this style is zoologically indeterminate beast figures, with curved bodies and tendril-like projections.
