It is named after the northern gate of the Urnes stave church in Norway, but most objects in the style are runestones in Uppland, Sweden, which is why some scholars prefer to call it the Runestone style. The style is characterized by slim and stylized animals that are interwoven into tight patterns.
The animals heads are seen in profile, they have slender almond-shaped eyes and there are upwardly curled appendages on the noses and the necks. This item has been painstakingly hand carved from lime wood, then stained, sanded and covered in natural oils to protect it from dirt and add shine.

If you are looking for an item with a soul this is certainly it. It will add character and history wherever you chose to hang it.
