Description
Decorated with distinctive fire-burned designs, this drinking horn is crafted from a single piece of pure cow horn, shaped and polished to a smooth, glossy finish. It holds approximately 12 to 17 ounces of liquid, whether water, wine, ale, or beer. The interior has been treated to withstand boiling water, making it practical for a variety of drinks. For centuries, people across many cultures,from the Norse in Scandinavia to tribes in Eastern Europe,have used horns from cattle, buffalo, or oxen as drinking vessels. This horn carries on that long-standing tradition, blending natural materials with the skills of the smith.
The accompanying stand is forged from twisted metal and coated in a black finish. Such stands were essential at medieval feasts and gatherings, for a drinking horn cannot simply be set down without spilling its contents. The stand provides a stable resting place, allowing the drinker to enjoy the festivities hands-free.
