Description
Here lies a drinking horn that carries the very spirit of the Viking age. Its surface bears a hand-engraved stag caught mid-charge,a powerful emblem of strength and resolve revered by Norse warriors. The wide brass rim, carefully embossed, strengthens the horn’s mouth, blending practical durability with the metalworking skills that Viking smiths took pride in. A suede belt holster is included, designed for ease of carry on a warrior’s belt, alongside a protective carry bag to guard the horn during travel or rest. For those wishing to display their horn as the Vikings might have, a twisted iron stand,crafted from rugged materials favored in the North,makes a fitting companion.
Note: This horn is fashioned from natural cattle horn, so each piece will vary in shape, color, and grain,marks of its organic origin and authenticity. Before first use, wash the horn thoroughly by hand. Avoid dishwashers or soaking, as moisture and heat can warp or damage the horn’s keratin structure.
Though this horn bears a minor delamination at the mouth edge, it remains solid and serviceable,much like the practical gear of Viking warriors, which often showed signs of wear yet carried on through many a campaign.
- Overall Length: Approximately 12″
- Weight: Around 1 lb
- Capacity: About 12 oz (350 ml)
Fun Fact: Vikings believed that drinking from a horn adorned with a charging stag could call upon the animal’s fierce spirit, bolstering the drinker’s courage and vigor before heading into battle or celebration.
