Drink like a true Norseman with this carved Viking horn tankard, handcrafted from natural horn and finished with a sturdy wooden base for stability. The body is richly decorated with intricate knotwork in the Viking art style, reminiscent of patterns found on rune stones, ship carvings, and grave goods from the Viking Age.
The curved handle is not only comfortable to grip but also designed to slip onto a belt. This practical feature reflects how Norse travelers and warriors often carried their drinking vessels with them, ensuring they were always prepared to share in feasts, toasts, and mead-hall revelry.
Material: Natural horn with carved Viking knotwork
Wooden base for durability and balance
- Handle designed for belt carrying or easy transport
- Each piece is unique in color and natural horn markings
- Food-safe and ideal for mead, ale, or your drink of choice
Historical Note: Archaeological finds and saga references indicate that personal drinking vessels were commonly carried by Vikings, particularly during journeys and gatherings. This tradition ensured that no matter where a feast was held—whether in a chieftain’s hall or a camp along the way—every warrior and traveler was ready to raise a horn in honor of gods, kin, and victory.
“Echoes of the Viking Age, reborn in every craft.”
