It is thought that the Valknut is a symbol of folk-remembrance, sacrifice, honor, dedication, even love, for the act of dying in battle for our people is a true act of love. This horn is hand carved from all natural horn.  It has been polished inside and out.  A food safe sealant coats the interior of the horn.  A Valknut symbol is engraved on the front. A beautifully crafted brass band with Celtic weave lines the lip.   The tip has a carved crocodile that is made from genuine brass. The horn stand has a simple design so that it does not take away from the drinking horn you plan to display. It is forged from iron with a natural finish. This horn will look great in your hand at your next party. Horn Height (Approximate): 12-15 Inches *Please wash with a gentle detergent and polish with vegetable oil to keep it from drying out. And from time to time you will want to use beeswax to coat the inside to keep from cracking and the inside drying out.  Natural imperfections may be visible on this item.
