'''Animal style''' art is an approach to decoration found from [[Ordos culture]] to [[Northern Europe]] in the early [[Iron Age]], and the [[barbarian art]] of the [[Migration Period]], characterized by its emphasis on animal motifs. The [[zoomorphic]] style of decoration was used to decorate small objects by warrior-herdsmen, whose economy was based on breeding and herding animals, supplemented by trade and plunder.<ref>[[Emma Bunker|Emma C.Bunker]], ''Animal Style Art from East to West'', Asia Society. p. 13</ref> [[Animal art]] is a more general term for all art depicting animals.
