Product description

Drinking horns were already employed in ancient times by the Greeks and Romans, and during the Middle Ages they served a ritual and ceremonial function. This enormous drinking horn may be filled with up to 1.5 litres of your favourite drink. The interior of the horn has been treated so that it is suitable for use with beverages, and a wax layer has also been applied for extra durability. With this enormous drinking horn, you are sure to steal the show!

Historically, drinking horns carry deep symbolic meaning. Almost all Indo-European peoples utilised drinking horns. Friends drank together from the same horn to emphasise their relationship, founded upon oath-bound reciprocity. Viking women are regularly depicted with drinking horns, symbolising the sacred role of the hostess. The Greeks and Romans employed horns during plenary sacrifices, which emphasises an oath-bound reciprocal relationship with the gods. Drinking horns were well-suited to this purpose, as the horns are reminiscent of cattle, which played a central role in our originally nomadic steppe culture more than 5,000 years ago. This is also reflected in stories about cattle raids.
