The Best of the Drinking Horns
Posted by SwordsSwords on Jul 30th 2018
Drinking from a horn… Sounds pretty weird, no? Well, it is no surprise, but the Vikings used to drink from drinking horns. They drank water, milk, and mead from these drinking horns. If one gets the chance to visit any of the Viking Age burial mounds, you will find several traces of the horns. The surprising part is that most of them were in the female grave. We believe that is because the women were responsible for brewing the mead and serve the guests.
The original Viking drinking horns were made from the horn of a bovid, but over the centuries, many civilizations adapted to drinking from the horns and started making them out of wood, ceramics, glass, and even metal. Even before the Vikings, even the Scythians, and Thracians used to drink from horns, it is safe to say that drinking horns have been around for a long time now!
With a little history, let’s get down to the horns at SwordsSwords. Here you will find several drinking horns of different shapes and size, some Viking drinking horns with stand, some Norwegian drinking horn, and some that might be polished cow horns, but all very authentic and true!
