Animal Style Art consists of intricate, ribbonlike traceries of line that suggest wild and fantastic beasts. The animal style was used in England, Scandinavia, Germany, France and Russia. The Scythian Altaic nomads of the Pazyryk in the Altay Mountains are famous for their rich Siberian animal style.
