Bjorn's Drinking Horn
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bjorn's Drinking Horn
Who was Bjorn?
This drinking horn has been inspired by Viking king; Bjorn Ironside. According to Norse legend, Bjorn Ironside was the son of notorious Viking warrior and king, Ragnar Lothbrok. Bjorn is said to have avenged his father's murder, along with the other "Sons of Ragnar", before they collectively raided further into England, Normandy, France and Lombardy. After reaching Italy, the "Sons of Ragnar" split up the kingdom they had amassed, with Bjorn claiming Sweden and the iconic Uppsala (and its Temple).
Bjorn (Old Norse for Bear) fought with ferocity, as though the embodiment of a Bear, and with such devastating effectiveness, that he earned the moniker: Ironside. to his warriors, and enemies, it appeared their king could not be harmed by any man made iron weapon.
Bjorn's Finial
This legend is the inspiration behind the stunning finial which is the centerpiece of Bjorn's Drinking Horn. The finial features a bear head showing its teeth and ready for battle, the animal embodiment of Bjorn's fury and warrior prowess. Above are the runes Ansuz, Laguz and Uruz which spell "ALU". ALU carvings have been found as part of numerous Runic inscriptions across England and Scandinavia. The meaning of the mysterious word has been disputed, with the general consensus among scholars being that it represents Rune Magic or a metaphor for it.
Could this be how Bjorn was capable to remain unharmed by any human produced iron?

All our horn products are handmade in our Yorkshire-based workshop. All horns arrive in their completely natural state. We then sand, polish and line the inside of each individual piece. All designs are drawn on and carved entirely by hand.
The inside of the horn has been extensively cleaned and then lined using food-grade beeswax. We try to keep everything as authentic and organic as possible, which is why we opt for a deodorized beeswax lining rather than a polyurethane one. Because we use natural wax, the horn isn't suitable for hot drinks. All drinking horns and mugs come with a set of care instructions.
Our horns come without a stand unless specified otherwise. All our stands are made exclusively for Horns of Odin by our U.K based blacksmith and can be found in the "horn accessories" section.
These horns are made to order, so may differ from the product pictures. If you have a preferred colour horn, please leave a message with your order, and we will do everything we can to accommodate.
