Historical Viking - Belt buckle / Birka in Borre style, bronze

Mythical creatures are often associated with geometric braided ornaments.
The Borre style phase of early medieval art also features mythical creatures, triangular heads - upright ears, spherical eyes and plastic noses characterize this Nordic-Germanic art style.
