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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBjorn (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBjorn's Finial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis legend is the inspiration behind the \u003cstrong\u003estunning \u003c\/strong\u003efinial which is the centerpiece of Bjorn's Drinking Horn.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAny customs fees that may occur with items sent to Europe are payable by the customer. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Horns of Odin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55188108575105,"sku":null,"price":93.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2342\/8162\/files\/PXL_20260731_135208210.jpg?v=1785507073","url":"https:\/\/www.hornsofodin.com\/en-it\/products\/tyrs-seax-a-grade","provider":"Horns of Odin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
