Product information "Druid Drinking Horn"

The waning moon and the myriad of stars watch you, following your journey to the ritual site. Although the way is dark, your eyes have no trouble finding the correct path. The ritual site is holy ground and you feel its power as you pause just beyond its circle.

Stepping forth, you set to work to begin your hallowed ceremony. The mead is poured and the magic thrums within the design of your Druid Drinking Horn. You drink deeply and begin to feel one with nature.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Druid Drinking Horn is a drinking vessel designed to hold half a liter of your finest mead. This genuine horn comes from the Indian water buffalo, and was chosen specifically for its darker colour. The outside is polished to perfection and engraved with a celtic-inspired pattern. The inside of the horn is treated for food consumption and longevity using a wax coating.

Enjoy cold and room temperature liquids in your drinking horn while remaining in character, hiding away the unsightly plastic bottles. Our drinking horns are a great addition to feasts and campfires! Use it like any other cup (remember to drink with the point of the horn rotated to the left or right...you’ll thank us) and keep it from spilling by resting it in a leather frog on your belt or in the wrought iron horn stand that comes with this purchase. With the proper care, you can expect your Druid Drinking Horn to last many long years.

HISTORY

  • Ancient Greeks and Romans were known to use drinking horns
  • The ancient Greek term for a drinking horn was simply keras, which means ‘horn’
  • Drinking horns were used for ritual and ceremony purposes throughout the Middle Ages
  • Most Viking Age drinking horns were likely made from domestic cattle, while some might have been larger and made from an auroch

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Natural horn products are ABSOLUTELY NOT DISHWASHER SUITABLE.

To clean, place in warm soapy water, and brush gently with a bottle brush. With use, the wax may begin to peel back from the wall naturally. It can easily be re-adhered by adding more wax. Purchase a block of pure bees wax and gently melt it onto the affected area, thumbing the area closed and sealed again.

Cracks in horn may be fixed with the application of dish-washer safe "ModPodge", available on request at your local Spotlight or craft store.

Do not use for hot beverages. Do not use for alcoholic beverages higher than 20% ABV. Do not place in boiling liquid or put boiling liquid inside horn. Do not drop. Consume contents responsibly.
