Horn Beer Mug - Odin Riding Sleipnir

Enjoy Horn Beer Stein - Odin Riding Sleipnir

Large mug / beer mug made of authentic horn

Odin rides Sleipnir



This generously sized handled mug/tank is handcrafted from cattle horn, polished and decorated with an engraved motif of Odin on his legendary eight-legged horse Sleipnir (also Sleipner ).

The design is based on an 8th-century picture stone found near Tjängvide on the Swedish island of Gotland and now housed in the State Historical Museum ( Statens Historiska Museum , Historiska Museet for short) that can be admired in Stockholm. Although the motifs depicted on the Tjängvide Picture Stone still leave room for interpretation today, most experts tend to identify the mounted warrior depicted in the upper right field of the stone as the Norse father of the gods sitting on Sleipnir.



The rustic and highly decorative glass we offer here is ideal not only for recreational purposes, but also for everyday use. Whether in a medieval setting or in a modern home, it is sure to be an eye-catcher on any dining table.



For hygienic reasons, the horn mug is painted on the inside in a food-safe manner, so you can enjoy your favourite beer (or your favourite wine/mead) to the fullest.



A great gift idea for today's Viking!
