Viking beer mug, Odin and Sleipnir (650-800 ml.)

This large handled mug is crafted from cattle horn, polished and embellished with an engraved motif of Odin riding his legendary eight-legged horse Sleipnir (or Sleipner).

The design is based on the 8th-century pictorial stone found near Tjängvide on the island of Gotland, Sweden, and is now on display at the Swedish History Museum (Statens historiska museum, also known as Historiska museet) in Stockholm. Although the motifs depicted on the Tjängvide image stone still leave room for interpretation to this day, most scholars generally identify the warrior on a steed appearing to the right in the upper field of the stone as the Norse father of the gods sitting on top of Sleipnir.

The rustic and highly decorative drinking vessel we offer here is not only ideal for recreation purposes, but also for everyday use. Whether in a medieval setting or in a modern home, it will be a real eye-catcher on any dining table.

For hygienic reasons, the drinking glass is sealed on the inside with a food-safe varnish so that you can enjoy your favorite beer or mead to the fullest.
