Drinking Horn Museum Replica

This drinking horn is a stunning replica of an archaeological find from Castle Douglas (Dhùghlais), Scotland, dating to the 13th century. Though it originates from a time just after the viking age, its design closely mirrors older Norse drinking horns, likely influenced by the viking settlers of the nearby Isle of Man and Northern Isles. The original artifact, featuring a bronze terminal, is housed at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Now, you can own a beautifully crafted horn inspired by this historical treasure.

Drinking horns were essential in the viking age, used for practical purposes and in ritualistic settings, as vividly described in the old sagas. This replica is lightweight, durable, and crafted from polished catle horn, sealed with food-safe wax and oil to ensure long-term freshness while preventing leakage and unpleasant odors.
