The first is from Urnes Stave Church, the latter from the Oseberg ship. As you see the tradition is passed from the Viking ship to the doorframe from the Stave church from the 1130s. The Viking ship is from 8th to 9th century I think or there about. It was found as part of a great burial of a woman. You see the animal ornament in the stave church that has gotten the name Urnes-style. Just thought you might find it interesting))

Yeah! I've seen the above one and I think I might have seen the Oseberg ship, but this is a different photograph! There is definitely something to it. Are those dragons? Or just beasts?
Ferrerix finds your viking carvings interesting and amazing for preservation, considering their antiquity. The Clan of the Ferrerii( Ferrarii ) has Celtic origins. The Vikings were of gothic derivation. I have summarised ancient gothic history in one of the Appendices to a Book on the History of my Clan. Celtic and Gothic branches met, struggled and mixed. Which of the nordic nations, joinin up at the Arctic cCrcle has the Laps in its territory? Are Rheindeers still numerous? They have been the first domesticated animals during the Glacial Era, used for every possible purpose. You'll have to answer my questions. What a pain in the neck am I revealing myself to be! The Shitians, who first moved to the Sayan Central Plateau above Mongolia displaced people using rheindeers and began to breed horses succesfully. Why do you not visit the Victoria and Albert museum when in London, i.e., the Syon Cope I talk about in one of my Posts?Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
