Synopsis

This beautiful treasury of over 100 designs offers a chance to discover the beauty of Viking design. Amid the wealth of full- and half-page rectangles, key patterns, spirals, motifs, borders and corners, general readers, artists and designers alike will come across the same energy and variety which they found in renowned artist Courtney Davis's A Treasury of Celtic Design. Anyone who has discovered the appeal of Celtic design will find these Viking images equally inspiring.
Viking design has survived in the 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 colonised: Iceland, Northern Scotland, the Isle of Man and Ireland. Courtney Davis works within these ancient traditions to produce his own unique illustrations and designs.
