The Jelling style is a phase of Scandinavian animal art during the 10th century.The article "jellingestil" in "Nationalencyklopedin" (1993).] The style is characterized by markedly stilized and often band-shaped bodies of animals. It was originally applied to a complex of objects in Jellinge, Denmark, such as Harald Bluetooth's great runestone, but later research categorize them as Mammen style.
