Large Tankard / Beer Mug, Genuine Horn
Odin rides Sleipnir

This generously sized mug / tankard with handle is hand-crafted from cattle horn, polished, and adorned with an engraved motif of Odin riding his legendary eight-legged horse Sleipnir (or Sleipner).
The design is based on the 8th century picture stone which was found near Tjängvide on the island of Gotland, Sweden, and is now on display at the Swedish history museum (Statens historiska museum, also known as Historiska museet) in Stockholm. Although the motifs depicted on the Tjängvide image stone still leave room for interpretation to this day, the warrior on a steed featured on the right in the stone’s upper field is usually identified by most scholars as being the Norse Allfather of the Gods sitting atop Sleipnir.

The rustic, highly decorative drinking vessel we offer here is not only ideal for re-enactment purposes, but also for everyday use. Whether in a medieval setting or in a modern home, it will make for a true eye-catcher on any dining table.

For hygienic reasons, the drinking cup is sealed on the inside with a food-safe varnish so that you may enjoy your favourite beer (or mead) to the fullest.

A great gift idea for modern-day Vikings!

The mug is not calibrated and thus exclusively intended for private use.

Horn mugs are not suitable for dishwashers and should be thoroughly cleaned before first (and after each) use with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents that could damage the protective coating.

* Please note that specs will vary from piece to piece and that above pictures are for reference only. As horn is an organic product, natural variations in colour, shape, size, and volume are to be expected. The mug’s capacity may vary from approx. 650 to 800 ml, while the colour may range from black to any shade or combination of brown, yellow, or ivory. Each cup is a hand-made, very unique piece, and yours will be chosen randomly from our stock.
