Warrior Design and Quality Craftsmanship

This drinking horn is handcrafted from 100% natural, ethically sourced genuine horn. Its exterior is carefully polished to a high gloss to bring out the unique patterns and colouration of the material. The interior is sealed with a food-safe lacquer, ensuring it is completely leak-proof and safe for contact with beverages. As this is a natural product, every single piece is a true original—your horn will be unique in its shape, colour, and texture.

The Holster with Genuine Chainmail

The undisputed highlight is the durable holster made from genuine leather, which you can easily hang from your belt. Its dominant feature is a wide band of authentic chainmail, which is underlaid with coloured leather (red or brown). This detail gives the entire set an uncompromising warrior aesthetic. Also included in the package is a high-quality cloth pouch with the Mythrojan logo, which will protect the horn's polished surface during transport and storage.

For the Thirstiest Warriors and Grandest Toasts

With a capacity that easily holds more than a pint of your favourite beverage, this horn is ideal for quenching the thirst of even the most parched warrior after a hard-fought battle. It's perfectly suited for beer, mead, or wine. Thanks to the practical belt holster, you don't have to constantly hold it, allowing you to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the event. It's the perfect combination of a functional vessel and a stylish accessory that will complete your costume.

A Glimpse into History and Lore

Drinking horns are one of the oldest types of drinking vessels in Europe, with a history stretching back to the Bronze Age. Although they are inextricably linked with the Vikings, they were also widely used by Celts, Germanic tribes, and even Romans. They were not just for drinking; they often served as ceremonial objects and symbols of power. In the Norse sagas, such as the Saga of Haakon the Good, ceremonial toasts called "minni" are mentioned, which were made from horns in honour of gods, ancestors, and kings. By holding this horn, you are connecting with a tradition thousands of years old.

How to Care for Your Horn for a Lifetime of Use

Natural horn is a durable material that will last you a lifetime with the proper care. Please follow these guidelines:

• Washing: Always hand-wash only. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth, with a little mild soap if needed. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing. NEVER, ever put it in a dishwasher!
• Unsuitable Drinks: Do not fill the horn with hot beverages. The high temperature could permanently damage the material, causing it to warp or crack. Also, avoid hard liquor (over 20% alcohol) and carbonated or highly acidic drinks, as they could damage the inner protective layer.
• Maintenance: Occasionally, you can treat the outside of the horn with a small amount of a natural oil (like linseed or coconut oil) to maintain its lustre and prevent it from drying out.
• Storage: Always rinse and dry your horn after use. Store it in a dry place, ideally in the provided cloth pouch.
