Egil's Drinking Horn- Viking Saga Inspired
Viking Drinking Horn Inspired by Egil's Saga
This drinking horn is inspired by one of the most famous Viking sagas, the tale of Egil Skallagrímsson. According to the saga, Egil once foiled a poisoning attempt at a feast by carving magic runes on his drinking horn, performing a ritual that rendered the poison harmless. This horn is engraved with what we believe the protective runes may have been,(9 nauðr runes) blending myth, history, and craftsmanship into one stunning piece.
Drinking horns were a staple in the Viking Age, used for both practical and ritual purposes as recounted in Norse sagas. This lightweight and durable cattle horn is polished and sealed with food-safe wax and oil to ensure freshness while preventing leaks and unwanted odors. A perfect blend of history and functionality, this horn is a tribute to Viking ingenuity and lore.
