Yggdrasil Drinking Horn

This horn has had the Norse tree of life, Yggdrasil, delicately carved into it, and each leaf is carefully carved in relief style.

Yggdrasil (Old Norse: Askr Yggdrasils) is an immense ash tree that is the centre of the Norse cosmos and grows out of the "Well of Urd", which is home to the Norn's. The world tree connects the 9 Norse realms, and it is said that Odin would ride up and down its trunk on his horse Sleipnir. Odin sacrificed his body by hanging himself from the tree and piercing his flesh with Gungnir (Odin's spear). He hung for nine days and nine nights. On the ninth night, he had proven himself worthy to learn the secret of the runes.

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.

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.

Any customs fees that may occur with items sent to Europe are payable by the customer.
