Soaring Eagle Medieval Drinking Horn

Description:

Drinking horns were the ceremonial vessel of choice for those of high status throughout the medieval period. They often held ale or mead, and they're still used today in weddings and other ceremonies. This horn is hand-polished with an eagle carved into the surface—a striking piece for ceremonial use or display. Horns from cows, buffalo, or oxen have traditionally been used as drinking vessels across many cultures, and this fine specimen is a great example of the practice. Each horn is unique. The color, shape, and natural blemishes vary from piece to piece, and minor scratches from buffing are part of the natural material. No two are exactly alike.
