Answer to Question 1

C
The Limbourgs were three brothers who created an illuminated prayer book for the duke of Berry, brother of the King of France.

Answer to Question 2

Sutton Hoo was located on the island of Britain where the grave of an unknown seventh-century East Anglian king was found. One of the objects at the burial site was a gold-and-enamel purse cover with delicately made designs. The motifs are typical of the animal style, prevalent in the art of northwestern Europe, a legacy from the migratory herdsmen. Animal-style images were accompanied by interlace, patterns formed by intricately interwoven ribbons and bands.
