FootnotesThere is a class of discoid pendants with banded borders and contorted figures found in the hinterland of the Baltic region, associated with the influence of Scandinavian 'Rus' settlers. The design of these items recalls specific elements of Viking art - for example, the 'gripping hands' motif is a feature of the Oseberg Style named after the famous Norwegian ship-burial.
