Viking drinking horn with raven knot



The drinking horn, usually made from cattle or goat horn, was a popular drinking vessel in many cultures and eras and was particularly important in ceremonies. It remained in use until the early modern period, especially in the Germanic areas of Europe. It was especially popular in Scandinavia during the early Middle Ages. The drinking horn is mentioned in both the Prose Edda and the Song Edda. Although Viking Age horn fragments are rarely found in excavations, the number of metal drinking horn fittings that have survived suggests that their use was far more widespread than actual finds suggest.



This Viking drinking horn is handmade from horn, polished, and decorated with a carved motif of two entwined ravens. In Norse mythology, the two ravens Hugin and Munin (or Huginn and Muninn ) fly over Asgard and Midgard and return at night to the father of the gods (also called Hrafnáss , the “raven god”) to tell him everything they have seen and heard.



Whether in a modern home or to recreate a medieval or Viking atmosphere, this rustic and highly decorative container will be a real eye-catcher on any dining table.



For hygienic reasons, the inside of the horn is painted food-safe, so you can enjoy your favorite beverage to the fullest.



A great gift idea for today's Viking!
