Viking Drinking Horn with Stand 1316396100

The drinking horn, made primarily from cow or goat horn, was a popular drinking vessel in many cultures and through many eras, being particularly important in ceremonies. It remained in use until the early modern period, especially in the Germanic-influenced areas of Europe. Especially in Scandinavia it enjoyed great popularity in the early Middle Ages. The drinking horn is mentioned in both the Prose Edda and the Lieder Edda.
Although Viking Age horn fragments are rarely found during archaeological excavations, the number of surviving metal horn mouth plates and tips suggests that their use was far more widespread than actual horn finds suggest.
The drinking horn offered here is handmade.
with buffalo horn and polished from the outside for a smooth and shiny surface. It is decorated with a brass and lace border and comes with a black lacquered metal stand with non-slip rubber feet.
