Norse carvings

Norse carvings, often found on wood, stone, and metal, are intricate artistic expressions from the Viking Age (circa 793-1066 AD). They feature interwoven patterns, animals, and mythological figures, reflecting the culture, beliefs, and artistry of the Norse people. Common elements include the famous "Odin's Ravens" and dragon-like creatures, symbolizing power, protection, and the connection to nature. These carvings were used in everyday items, monuments, and ships, serving both decorative and functional purposes while also narrating stories from Norse mythology and history. They are valuable cultural artifacts that provide insight into the lives and ideologies of the Vikings.
