Borre

A Scandinavian art style named from objects found in the ship burial in a great barrow at Boore in Vestfold in Norway and datable to the late ninth and early tenth centuries. It is most commonly found on small cast cooper-alloy objects and is typified by a ring chain pattern made up of a double ribbon plait forming a symmetrical interlace. Each intersection is bound by a circle which surrounds a hollow-sided lozenge. Borre-style objects were not necessarily imported and were made in the north of England, for example at York.
