Historical Context and Symbolism of Aegishjalmur
The Aegishjalmur (Œgishjálmr) symbol comes from Icelandic magical manuscripts and sagas, such as the Eyrbyggja saga. It literally means "Helm of Awe". According to legends, this sign had the power to protect a warrior, ensure victory, and confuse enemies. Interestingly, in Germanic mythology, it is said that the dragon Fafnir did not wear a real helmet, but had the Aegishjalmur sign on his forehead, which made him an almost invincible creature. This horn thus carries a piece of Nordic mysticism and belief in the magical power of runic symbols.

In order for your drinking horn to serve you for many years and still look like new, it needs to be cared for properly. Horn is an organic material that reacts to heat and chemicals.
