Viking Natural Horn Drinking Vessel with Leather Belt Holster

"A warrior who cannot secure his ale at the victory fire will find little favour when the shields lock at dawn." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge

A proper vessel should endure the clamour of the mead hall just as stout armour resists the blow of a blade. Shaped by skilled horners from ethically sourced natural horn, each of these massive drinking horns possesses its own distinct grain, curve, and colouration. No two beasts share the same growth, ensuring your draught comes from a truly unique piece of field gear.

Hand-worked to a smooth, comfortable rim and thoroughly sealed against leakage, the horn is built to contain your ale, cider, or hydromel without seeping into the grain. To carry such a vessel into the field without losing it to the mud, a tailored leather frog accompanies the piece. Slung directly onto your sword belt or utility girdle, this harness keeps your horn poised firmly at your hip, leaving your hands unencumbered for weapon maintenance or tending the campfire.

For long marches between encampments or travelling to distant tourneys, stow the horn within the included protective bag to shield its polished surface from grit and gouges. Whether you stand in garrison, celebrate at an SCA feast, or gather with comrades under canvas after a hard-fought skirmish, this vessel is fashioned to endure years of hearty service. Clean it with cool water and mild care, and it will toast many a campaign yet to come.
