Hand-Carved Viking Buffalo Drinking Horn 150-200ml - Outlet

Hand-Carved Viking Buffalo Drinking Horn with Dragon Scale Pattern

The Legacy of Norse Sagas

The history of using animal horns for drinking stretches deep into antiquity and the early medieval period. They were particularly favoured among Germanic tribes and Vikings, for whom the horn was not merely a practical vessel but an important ritual object during feasts and celebratory toasts in great mead halls. The scale pattern, which has been intricately carved into this horn, easily evokes the skin of mythical dragons or sea serpents from popular Norse sagas, such as the mighty Jörmungandr.

Proper Usage and Essential Care

This horn is perfectly suited for serving your favourite cold beverages, such as beer, mead, wine, water, and non-acidic soft drinks. The inside of the horn is treated with a special food-safe resin varnish, ensuring that drinking from it is completely safe and hygienic. However, you must strictly avoid filling it with hot beverages or liquids with an alcohol content exceeding 20%, as this would compromise the protective inner layer.

Because it is made from purely natural materials, the horn must never be washed in a dishwasher or heated in a microwave. Extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals will cause irreparable damage, warping, or cracking. Before its first use, simply wash the horn under running lukewarm water. To ensure the horn serves you well and retains its beautiful appearance for years to come, we highly recommend treating it lightly with beeswax after each use and thorough drying. Natural materials age and decay over time, but your proper care will significantly slow down this natural process.

Expand Your Kit

A hand-forged iron table stand or a sturdy leather belt holster makes a perfect addition to this gorgeous horn, allowing you to keep your drink safely close at hand during events.
