A very comprehensive and highly intellectual study of Nordic art in the 4th-5th century, which took a huge turn from its antique heritage. In the place of monumentalism came an intimate and storytelling art. It became richly decorated in patterns that can seem almost uncomprehensible today. This second volume focuses on the bird as a mesenger of the future as well as animals and people in the art. This book is part of Asger Jorn 7 Volume series on Nordic art. Exquisite illustrations of medieval art from Scandinavia made from stone and metal including silver and bronze.
