Immerse yourself in the world of the Vikings with this drinking horn! Whether as a stunning eye-catcher in your Viking collection, an authentic accessory for your Viking costume, or as an atmospheric decoration for a medieval camp – this horn adds a touch of Norse history to any setting.
Generally made from cattle or goat horn, and used as a drinking vessel in many cultures across different time periods, the drinking horn held great significance, especially for ceremonies. It continued to see service right up until the early modern period, especially throughout Germanic Europe. A particularly popular drinking vessel through the early Middle Ages in Scandinavia, it enjoyed mentions in both the Prosa Edda and the Poetic Edda. Although fragments of Viking Age horns are rarely recovered on archaeological digs, the numbers of preserved metal horn fittings lead to assume that their use was much more widespread than the actual horn finds indicate.
This Viking drinking horn is handcrafted from genuine buffalo horn. Not only is it perfect for re-enactment purposes or as a decoration to add an authentic touch to any medieval or Viking setting, but it is also highly decorative in a modern home.
For hygienic reasons, the horn is sealed on the inside with a food-safe varnish so that you may enjoy your favourite beer (or mead) to the fullest.
Not only a great gift idea for modern day Vikings, but also for all medieval fans.

Our drinking horns are not calibrated and thus exclusively intended for private use.
Drinking horns are not suitable for dishwashers and should be thoroughly cleaned before (and after each) use with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents that could damage the protective coating.
Please note that specs will vary from piece to piece and that above pictures are for reference only. As horn is an organic product, natural variations in colour, shape, size, weight, and volume are to be expected. Each horn is a hand-made, very unique piece, and yours will be chosen randomly from our stock.
