A Glimpse into History: The Horse in Norse Mythology
The horse held an extraordinary position in Viking society and mythology. It was not only a means of transport and an aid in battle but also a symbol of strength, fertility, and nobility. The most famous horse in Norse myths is undoubtedly Sleipnir, the eight-legged steed of the god Odin, who could travel between the worlds. Horses were often sacrificed to the gods and buried with their masters to serve them in the afterlife. The engraving of a horse on a drinking horn is thus not just a decoration, but a reference to the deep respect the Norse people had for these noble animals.
Proper Care for a Long Life
To ensure your drinking horn serves you for as long as possible and retains its beauty, it is essential to follow these rules. Remember, this is a natural material.
What to do:
- Rinse the horn with cool water before the first use.
- Hand wash only with cool or lukewarm water and a little mild detergent.
- Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing.
- You can occasionally polish the outside with beeswax to restore its lustre.
What to absolutely avoid:
- Never wash the horn in a dishwasher. The hot water and chemicals would destroy it.
- Never heat it in a microwave.
- Do not pour hot liquids (coffee, tea, mulled wine) into it. This could cause cracking and damage the internal lacquer.
- Do not let liquids stand in it for too long and avoid highly acidic drinks.
- Do not fill it with liquids containing an alcohol content of over 20%.
