Die altgermanische Thierornamentik : typologische Studie über germanische Metallgegenstände aus dem IV. bis IX. Jahrhundert, nebst einer Studie über irische Ornamentik
Bernhard Salin's 1904 archaeological study, published in Stockholm in Johanna Mestorf's German translation, classifies Germanic metalwork of the fourth to ninth centuries and Irish ornament for scholars of early medieval art. The 386 line drawings record bow and square-headed brooches, buckles and mounts in dense hatching, showing interlaced animal limbs, gripping beasts, spirals and chip-carved panels that can be lifted as border motifs, monograms or repeating pattern stock.
