Description
All-natural buffalo horn is carefully hollowed and shaped by hand to form this authentic drinking horn. Each piece measures between 20 and 23 inches in length, with no two horns exactly alike. The horn’s capacity ranges from about 1100 ml to 1400 ml, making it suitable for water, wine, beer, ale, and other beverages. The exterior is polished smooth, revealing natural variations in color,from deep blacks to creamy calcium whites,depending on how the horn grew in the animal.
Drinking horns have a rich history across many cultures, often serving both ceremonial and everyday purposes. One interesting tradition tied to these horns is that they cannot be set down on a table until emptied, encouraging the drinker to finish their portion in one go. This custom brings a sense of camaraderie and celebration to any gathering.
To care for your horn, wash it gently with mild detergent and polish regularly with vegetable oil to prevent drying. Occasionally, applying beeswax to the interior helps protect against cracking and preserves the horn’s natural moisture.
