What does it look like and what makes it special?

• A Natural Original: Being a natural material, every piece is unique. Your horn might vary slightly in shape, size, and exact colour from the photo, so you can be sure you're holding a truly one-of-a-kind item.
• Handcrafted: Carefully worked to bring you joy and serve you for as long as possible.
• Safe for Drinking: The inside of the horn is treated with a special food-safe resin, preventing leaks and ensuring it's safe for contact with beverages.

When and how to use it?

• In the Past: Drinking horns were a common part of life in many cultures, not just the Vikings. They were used at celebratory feasts, rituals, and as symbols of status or gifts. They held mead, ale, beer, and water.
• Today: Picture yourself raising this horn at a historical festival, LARP event, themed party with mates, your favourite metal gig, or simply round a campfire in the evening. It's brilliant for mead, ale, beer, cider, wine, or any other cool or lukewarm drink. You can wear it stylishly on your belt in a leather frog (not included) or place it on the table in a wooden or metal stand (not included). It's not just a drinking vessel; it's a piece of history, a great conversation starter, and a cool accessory for your look!

What to watch out for and how to care for it so it lasts?

• Unsuitable Drinks: Never pour hot drinks (coffee, tea, mulled wine...) into the horn. High temperatures could damage both the horn itself and the internal resin. Likewise, it's not suitable for drinks with an alcohol content over 20%.
• Washing: Never put the horn in the dishwasher! Hot water and harsh detergents would ruin it. Before the first use and after each subsequent use, wash it by hand under running lukewarm water. Don't use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
• Maintenance for Longevity: To keep your horn looking good and functioning well for as long as possible, it's a good idea to treat it with a little beeswax or natural oil (like linseed oil) after each use, wash, and thorough drying. Rub a small amount inside and out with a cloth – this helps keep the material supple and seals any microscopic pores.
• Natural Material: Remember, the horn is a natural product and, despite all care, it can change over time or develop small cracks. This is part of its authentic character.

Enjoy every sip from this unique drinking horn and get swept away by the atmosphere of bygone eras and the admiration of your friends! It's a fantastic gift for any history, fantasy, or metal enthusiast, or simply for anyone who appreciates an original and stylish piece.
