Viking Ornamentation Styles
MAMEN
The Mammen style is named after the designs on an axe found in the grave of a Danish Viking from Mammen in Jutland. The Mammen style animal grew imperceptibly out of that of the Jellinge style. The two can be difficult to tell apart. The Mammen animals become larger, realistic and more natural in proportion. Thus there was more infill and the spiral hips became much larger. The Mammen style was not in fashion for very long, it could be said to be the transitional stage between Jellinge and Ringerike. This would be true except that before the Mammen style there was no interest in using plants, or leaves as in the Ringerike style
Eller
In the late tenth early eleventh century the Mammen style developed from the Jelling style and sometimes it is difficult to tell them apart, but the fully developed Mammen style is easier to recognise because it has a more substantial animal than the Jelling beast and has the addition of plant tendrils. It takes its name from a silver inlaid axe found at Mammen in Jutland.
