This beautiful and versatile treasury of over 100 designs will prove an invaluable source of inspiration to everyone with an interest in the Viking heritage, not least to artists and designers both amateur and professional. The richness and energy of Viking design is indisputable equal to that of Celtic design and can be seen in the surviving metalwork, woodwork, textiles, stone and bone carvings, and ceramics of the Viking homelands of Norway., Denmark and Sweden as well as the western lands they colonized: Iceland, Northern Scotland, the Isle of Man and Ireland. Renowned artist Courtney Davis works within these ancient traditions to produce his own unique illustrations and designs. Presented here is a wealth of full- and half-page rectangles, key patterns, spirals, motifs, borders and corners, all rendered with exquisite finess.
