Hi there, I'm Jonas Lau Markussen.
The Viking Age have always fascinated me - Especially the animal ornaments of the Norse.
I have 10+ years experience working as a graphic designer and have a masters degree in architecture.
For the past three years I have been studying the art of the Viking age trying to understand the intricacies of the art form and how to recreate it.
I have turned my research into a guide-book about the characteristics of the styles available for free through my website.

What's the Meaning of These Bird Brooches?
This design is constructed based on the features of several Style II/B and Style II/C bird brooches. Thus, it exemplifies essential characteristics and features of the Germanic Iron Age brooches.
Designs similar to this one were popular from the 6th century until the beginning of the Viking Age.
The meaning of the imagery is not exactly clear, and the designs vary a lot in detail, though the overall composition follows a somewhat set template.
Let's have a look at the potential meaning and significance of these bird brooches.

Reconstructing the design of the so-called palmette brooches
มุมมอง 614ปีที่แล้ว
Many small, almost identical so-called palmette brooches from the late Viking Age have been found in recent years. They are very similar in silhouette, size and overall design but can differ in detail. Based on a selection of the brooch finds, I'll create a design with the most common elements composing palmette brooches, giving a good sense of what the designs typically would have looked like.

Great work and explanation!
I found your work on the 7 different styles of the Viking age back in college and am slowly designing a tree with animals based on this style. Thank you for all your work and reference pieces!
Congratulations on the excellent work👏👏👏 I really like your videos!! Do you allow the use of this geometric pattern (design)?? I would like to use it to make a three-dimensional model! thank you for your attention
On how many samples is this based? edit: and what's the geographical range?
Sorry but what is a lip "labbit". What's the origin of their oddly-shaped mouths?
I’m trying this right now and it’s so hard oml
Great video. Thank you!
Amazing display of knowledge, we found a metallic spoon with this figures engraved, but you won't believe where if i tell you, is there any chance that i can send you a pic so you can tell if its really a nordic technique? Because its not like anything ive seen here
Please do more of these! The theory behind the drawings and the details you provide about the style elements for the Ringerike style are valuable and fascinating! I'd love to see you do other styles in how to draw videos!
Do you know of any books that can help in learning how to do the scrollwork?
Very helpful!
I like you,i like drow.i drow can, drow fun

I used it for school work
I wish there was something this detailed for borre or is it very similar?
Borre style is actually similar in many ways but differs in detail (like heads, feet and ribbon ends). There are good examples of some of the Borres style details in some of my recents videos. So check them out if you haven't already :) These two are especially relevant: th-cam.com/video/3XXHGn3pITM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Fuep9_7DBuY/w-d-xo.html
I have been doing this automatically without knowing it was a even a thing. I have also done the things you mention.
That's awesome! Well done :)
Such a great idea, thanks! I've been wanting to experiment with knowtork illustrations but didn't know where to begin, I'll give this a try :)
Glad to hear it was helpful :) Yeah, it's a fun (and easier) way to get into knotwork design. Hope it works well for you!
Takk drengr Markussen =) Nok en innertier med vakre illustrasjoner!
You're welcome! :)
You're my go-to when it comes to the source code of norse art =) Great job, drengr Markussen.
Thank you! Glad you find my work helpful :)
Just Bought your Anatomy of Viking art Book, It's MIRE than Helpful, Sláinte Mr.Markussen. 🤜🏻🤛🏻☘️
Awesome, thank you! Glad you like the book! :D
Seems like the tendril entangling the legs ought to have a logical origin. A serpent would certainly be consistent with other Urnes beasts. Maybe jesses as used in (at least modern) falconry?
All plausible. I haven't been lucky to find convincing evidence for what it could have been yet. Some four-legged beasts in Ringerike and Urnes style have their feet tied in knots. But I haven't seen examples of this in bird motifs though.
Interesting these motifs that include two animals "whispering" into the figure's ears....kind of like Huginn & Muninn with Odin, but other animals
Yes, Huginn and Muninn are obvious parallel examples :)
I love sharing your work. Such art and research. 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!

Wonderful as outstanding! Is this a Campbell Viking Art book style as well?
It’s a pre-viking age style (preceding the Broa style) from c. 700-775. So I don’t think it’s included in Campbell’s Viking Art (I don’t have the recent edition).
I have a question when it comes to these designs on the artifacts, are they copyrighted or are they on the public domain?
great question
The designs of the artefacts are public domain
@@jonaslaumarkussen6045 Ah, thank you for clarifying it :)
beautiful work!
Thank you!
Thank you for these videos, Jonas. Du virker nøye og det er en viktig jobb du gjør =)
My pleasure :) Thank you!
The notion of not just reproducing historical examples, but rather creating new art firmly grounded in the historical context, is high on my list of ideals. Thank you for this inspiring example of just that.
My pleasure! And good luck! :)
I hadn’t previously recognized the heads with side tendrils since, as you say, that’s not the way it usually works. Now that I see them, I like them. I am inspired to try to integrate them into my art. Thanks for the elucidation.
Glad you've found it inspiring! :)
This is truly fascinating, you're on a good and important path Jonas, thank you! =)
Glad you think so! Thank you :)

Outstanding as always! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video✨ I have a question, what does the lip lappet signify/is trying to convey? I'm not aware of any animals that have that kind of structure. Also could the neck tendril represent a horn? But the horn has the design of the leaf motif?
It's mostly a stylistic trait developed through the style periods, starting as a curled nostril and then developing into a more elongated lip lappet in the Ringerike style. You could maybe interpret it as some kind of whiskers or the tuft of hair on the cheeks that dogs and wolves might have. The neck tendrils are, like the lip lappet, more of a stylistic feature, but it looks like it might resemble horns or rather antlers in some cases. But it is mostly a stylistic feature still :)
Thank you!
My pleasure :)
Fantastic video, Thank you as always for your brilliant research and sharing of knowledge!
Thank you! My pleasure :)
