Horn of Jotunheim 1,5 L with Stand

You enjoy a long drink from your horn, pleased that it never seems to empty. Or at the very least, you can’t seem to remember ever drinking it to the bottom. You can’t really be sure, since there are a few key lapses in your memory from your last few drinking sessions.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Horn of Jotunheim is a drinking vessel designed to hold a liter and a half of your favourite beverage. This genuine horn comes from the Indian water buffalo, and was chosen specifically for its dark colouring and massive size. The outside is polished to perfection, while the inside of the horn is treated for food consumption and longevity using a wax coating.

Enjoy cool 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 war meetings. 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 Horn of Jotunheim to last many long years.
