Drinking Horn "The Loyal Soldier" 600ml with Leather Frog & Brass Buckle
This drinking horn is crafted from ethically sourced natural horn, carefully selected for its durability and aesthetic quality. The surface is polished to a high gloss, highlighting the material's natural grain – ranging from deep black to marbled shades of white and grey. The interior is treated with a special food-safe resin, ensuring it is leak-free and that your drink retains its authentic flavour without any unwanted aftertaste.
Included in the set is a practical leather belt holder (frog). It features a distinctive brass buckle in a spectacle shape, allowing you to adjust the loop size precisely to your horn's circumference. This ensures the horn stays securely in place, leaving your hands free when you are not drinking. As a bonus, you also receive a canvas bag with the Mythrojan logo to protect the polished surface from scratches during transport in your kit bag or chest.
Historical Context
Drinking horns are among the oldest types of drinking vessels known to mankind. While we most commonly associate them with Vikings and Germanic tribes of the Early Middle Ages, their use persisted in various forms into later periods, especially during ceremonial occasions or in field camps where their durability compared to pottery was highly valued. The name "Loyal Soldier" refers to simple yet reliable gear that mercenaries and soldiers prized for its functionality and resilience.

Care Instructions
Horn is a natural material that requires specific care to last for many years:
- Before first use: Rinse the horn with lukewarm water.
- Washing: Hand wash only with lukewarm water and mild soap. Use a soft bottle brush for the interior. Never put the horn in a dishwasher!
- Temperature: Horn is sensitive to extreme temperatures. Never fill it with hot drinks (tea, coffee, mulled wine), as this could cause the resin or the horn itself to crack.
- Alcohol: The horn is suitable for ale, mead, and wine. We do not recommend storing beverages with an alcohol content above 20% for extended periods, as this may damage the protective resin layer.
- Shine: To maintain its beautiful appearance, you can occasionally polish the outside with a small amount of vegetable oil.
