Viking Drinking Horn with Raven Motif

Generally made from cattle or goat horn, and used as a drinking vessel in many cultures across different time periods, the drinking horn held great significance, especially for ceremonies. It continued to see service right up until the early modern period, especially throughout Germanic Europe. A particularly popular drinking container through the early Middle Ages in Scandinavia, it enjoyed mentions in both the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda. Although fragments of Viking Age horns are rarely recovered on archaeological digs, the number of preserved metal horn fittings lead to assume that their use was much more widespread than the actual horn finds indicate.

This Viking Drinking Horn is hand-crafted from horn, polished and adorned with a carved motif of a raven. The bird could depict one of Odin´s two ravens. In Norse mythology, the Hugin and Munin (or Huginn and Muninn) fly over Asgard and Midgard and return every evening to the Allfather of the Gods (also referred to as Hrafnáss, the "raven god”) to tell him everything they have seen and heard.

Whether in a modern home, or for re-enactment purposes in a medieval / Viking setting, this rustic, highly decorative drinking vessel will make for a true eye-catcher on any dining table.

For hygienic reasons, the horn is sealed on the inside with a food-safe varnish so that you may enjoy your favourite beer (or mead) to the fullest.

A great gift for the modern-day Vikings!

Our drinking horns are not calibrated and thus exclusively intended for private use.

Drinking horns are not suitable for dishwashers and should be thoroughly cleaned before first (and after each) use with lukewarm and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents that could damage the protective coating.

* Please note that specs will vary from piece to piece and that above pictures are for reference only. As horn is an organic product, natural variations in colour, shape, size, weight, and volume are to be expected. The horn’s capacity may vary from approx. 200 to 400 ml, while the colour may range from black to any shade or combination of brown, yellow, or ivory. Each horn is a hand-made, very unique piece, and yours will be chosen randomly from our stock.
