The drinking horn is the oldest vessel in the Norse world and the one that turns up most often in the graves.Why it has no baseA horn cannot be put down. That is not an oversight, a vessel that must be held or passed keeps the cup moving round the hall, and the Norse drinking horn belongs to a culture of shared toasts rather than solitary drinking. Stands and holders are a modern convenience.Each horn is natural, so no two are the same size or colour. Polished, cleaned and food-safe lined.
Made by hand in the Czech Republic, imported by Ransack Viking and shipped from our Memphis, Tennessee warehouse. Any engraving you add is carried out here in the United States.
A horn belongs to hall culture, and so did the small knife everyone ate with, which the seax history describes well. The motifs on the mounts come from the same source as the pendants, covered in the meaning of Thor hammer.
