Work Creator notes (display):
Refers to the period and style associated with the conquest of much of the British Isles by Germanic Saxons and Angles from Schleswig and the Baltic coast, beginning with the successive invasions of the fifth and sixth centuries CE and continuing after their conversion to Christianity. The style is characterized by a merging of the migrants' culture with existing Celtic traditions, and is later combined with classicizing influences from continental Europe. The elements derived from Angle and Saxon traditional metalwork and often applied to other media include symmetrical, interlaced, abstract patterns, stylized, interlocked animals, garnet incrustations, jewels, and filigree. These are combined with Celtic checkerboard patterns of millefiore enamel and other motifs developed in Celtic monasteries. (AAT)
