Reference: Oseberg Vikings art style that appeared in the early 9th century and was used all over Scandinavian territories for at least eight decades is called Oseberg.
Fundamental motifs Viking artists developed during the Oseberg style period were designed in a carpet-like manner, and they set a precedent for the next five styles of Viking art. The gripping beast motif was probably the essential characteristic of the Oseberg style, and its variations could be found on most 9th century artifacts used for religious purposes and everyday life. Like the other five, this style is named after the archeological site where its best-preserved object was found, and in this case, it was the Oseberg ship burial mound most preserved viking long ship ever found. Just like the name suggests, the Oseberg ship was more of a grave than a boat meant to sail across the seas, and inside of it, archeologists found skeletons of two women showered with a substantial amount of grave goods.
Viking artists made sure retailer that together with carved wooden animal-head statues, they heavily decorated the ship with gripping beast motif, the most striking Oseberg style feature. In his books about Viking history, English archeology professor Graham Campbell says that the gripping beast motif had a deep meaning for Norse people during the medieval times since it managed to stay relevant for more than 150 years.
