This beautiful wall decoration was made in Urnes Style. The Urnes Style was the last phase of Scandinavian animal art during the second half of the 11th century & in the early 12th century. It is named after the northern gate of the Urnes stave church in Norway, but most objects in the style are runestones in Uppland, Sweden, which is why some scholars prefer to call it the Runestone style. The style is characterized by slim & stylised animals that are interwoven into tight patterns. The animals heads are seen in profile, they have slender almond-shaped eyes & there are upwardly curled appendages on the noses & the necks. This item has been painstakingly hand carved from lime wood, then stained, sanded & covered in natural oils to protect it from dirt & add shine. If you are looking for an item with a soul this is certainly it. It will add character & history wherever you chose to hang it. It has a hook drilled on the back so you can hang it on the wall.
