Viking Signal Horn from Genuine Ox Horn, 10-12 Inches
Authentic Craftsmanship and Sound
This signal horn, often referred to as a bugle, is carefully handcrafted from ethically sourced ox horn. Its surface is polished to accentuate its natural beauty and the colour transitions from light tones to dark brown and black. The wide end of the horn is decoratively cut, adding to its visual appeal. The narrow end is fitted with a mouthpiece that facilitates blowing and allows for the creation of a clear, piercing, high-pitched tone, ideal for long-distance signalling.
Signal Horns Through History
The use of horns for signalling is deeply rooted in the past. The Vikings used them to call men to battle, to navigate ships in the fog, or during raids. However, they were not just instruments of war; a horn's blast also announced the start of feasts and celebrations. In the Middle Ages, they became an indispensable tool for hunters, who used different tones to communicate across the forests. While some horns evolved into complex musical instruments, the simple hunting and signal horn remained popular for its reliability and powerful sound.
Important Notice: Not for Drinking!
This product is a signal horn intended exclusively for blowing. It is not a drinking horn. The interior is not treated with a food-safe sealant, and using it to consume beverages would be unhygienic and could damage the material.
