Viking Horn Tankard 'Valknut', 200 ml
Authentic Style for Your Feast
This horn tankard is more than just a drinking vessel; it's a symbol. The hand-engraved Valknut, a powerful symbol associated with Odin and warriors fallen in battle, makes it a striking piece for any fan of Norse mythology. The tankard is crafted from ethically sourced bovine horn, features a sturdy horn handle, and has a durable plastic base for stability and a perfect seal. Thanks to the natural material, each piece is unique in its colour and texture.
The Valknut Symbol
The Valknut (pronounced "VAL-knoot") is a symbol consisting of three interlocked triangles. It appears on ancient Germanic and Norse artefacts, often in connection with burial rites. It is commonly associated with the god Odin and his power to bind and unbind minds, as well as with the fallen warriors in Valhalla. Drinking from a tankard bearing this symbol is a tribute to Norse traditions and the gods.
