This Viking drinking horn combines two well-known symbols from the Nordic tradition: Jormungandr, the legendary Midgard Serpent, and the Vegvisir, the famous Icelandic compass. Together they form a powerful design that is a perfect fit for Viking enthusiasts, reenactors and fans of Norse mythology.
In the Norse sagas, Jormungandr is the enormous serpent that encircles the oceans. So big is he that he encircles the entire world and holds his own tail. The Midgard Serpent symbolizes the immense forces of nature, fate and the eternal cycle of life and death. According to tradition, Jormungandr will fight his final battle with the thunder god Thor during Ragnarök.
In addition to the snake, this drinking horn is decorated with the Vegvisir. This magical symbol from Icelandic manuscripts is often described as a guidepost for travelers. According to tradition, the one who bears this mark would never get lost, even during storms or unknown journeys. Although the Vegvisir comes from a later period than the Viking Age, it is today a beloved symbol within Asatru and is often associated with protection, direction and adventure.
The drinking horn itself is made of real ox horn and finished with decorative brass batter. Thanks to the natural origin of it material each horn has a unique shape, colour and drawing. No two examples are exactly alike, which means that each drinking horn has its own character.
With a capacity of approximately 300 to 400 ml This drinking horn is ideal for mead, beer and other cold drinks. Whether you are participating in a Viking festival, visiting a historic encampment or toasting new adventures at home, this horn will instantly add an authentic atmosphere to the moment.
