Jelling Style (900—975) Wolf with Mushrooms. The Viking art style Jellinge is a phase of Scandinavian animal art that took place during the late 10th century. Bridging the earlier Borre style with the later Mammen style, it is characterized by ribbon-like stylized animal motifs and band-shaped bodies of animals. It was originally applied to a variety of objects in Jelling, Denmark, such as Gorm’s Cup by King Gorm and Harald Bluetooth’s great runestone, but more recently the style is included in the Mammen style.
