Viking and Slavic Ornamental Design Vol. 2

This book features a selection of patterns following the example of the first edition, but vol. 2. contains two thematic groups. The first one is a collection of drawings of stunning reliefs accumulated on only two objects, mainly the so called Kamień and Bamberg reliquaries, which are considered true masterpieces. The form of the second group is much simpler, yet symbolically richer, it consists of simple representations of gods and other creatures from the Slavic and northern-Germanic mythology of the Viking Age.
