Viking Dragon horn with support (200-300 ml.)

Usually made of buffalo horn, and used as a drinking vessel in many cultures through different time periods, the drinking horn held great significance, especially for ceremonies. It was used until the early modern period, especially throughout Germanic Europe.

The drinking horn we offer here is handcrafted from cattle horn, polished and embellished with an engraved dragon, a popular motif in Viking art.
For hygienic reasons, the horn is sealed on the inside with a food-safe varnish so you can enjoy your favorite beer (or mead) to the fullest.

A particularly popular drinking vessel during the early Middle Ages in Scandinavia, it enjoyed mentions in both the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda. Although Viking Age horn fragments are rarely recovered in archaeological excavations, the number of surviving metal horn fittings suggests that their use was much more widespread than actual horn finds indicate.
