This handmade Viking drinking horn cup comes with a brown leather strap that can be affixed to your belt.
We hope you like the horn you see in our pictures, but please remember that this is an authentically natural hand-crafted product so there will be variations in size, shape and color. There may also be small natural marks on the horn that our craftsmen decide to leave in the design.
No dishwashers, please! Wash with a sponge and soap.
Use for cold drinks only - hot drinks can deform the horn.
Our horns are by-products of the beef industry. Instead of going to waste our craftsmen turn the horns into these beautiful pieces.
Vikings were known for their love of mead, a fermented beverage made from honey and water. While mead was the drink of choice for special occasions, Vikings also drank beer and ale on a daily basis.
These drinks were usually made from barley, as wheat was not widely available in Scandinavia. Vikings also drank milk and buttermilk, although these beverages were not as popular as mead, beer, and ale.
In addition to these fermented drinks, Vikings also consumed plenty of freshwater from rivers and lakes. Water was often boiled before drinking to kill any bacteria that might be present.
