Aegishjalmur horn

THIRST QUENCHER

Epic Armoury’s Aegishjalmur Horn is a drinking vessel designed to hold half a litre of your preferred drink. Feel the strength & valour flow through you when you hold this authentic bull horn in your hand, raise a toast and tell your war stories. The product is made of genuine horn harvested from the Indian water buffalo and handcrafted. This specific design is adorned with a beautiful etched-in symbol inspired by an old Icelandic stave. The outside is polished to perfection and is smooth to the touch, while the inside is polished and treated for food consumption.

Enjoy cool and room temperature liquids in your drinking horn while remaining in character, hiding away the unsightly plastic bottles. Our drinking horns are a great addition to markets and camps. With the proper care, you can expect your Aegishjalmur Horn to last many long years. Remember not to use it for hot drinks, as the heat will cause the horn to change form. Since this product is made of a natural material, every horn product is unique, and the colour may vary from the shown picture.

HISTORY

• Ancient Greeks and Romans were known to use horns for drinking vessels.
• The ancient Greek term for a drinking horn was simply keras, which means ‘horn’.
• In the prose Edda, Thor is challenged to drink from a horn that unknown to him contains all the seas. He manages to drink a remarkable part of its content and thereby scares Útgarða-Loki and his kin.

QUALITY

Your horn is made from genuine Indian water buffalo horn, a product made from real kerotin. It was handcrafted, and therefore each horn is unique in its own special way, thanks to the artist and variations in each individual horn. This product has been created especially for food use, but we do advise that you take proper care of it in order to keep the product in good condition for continued use.

MAINTENANCE

In order to best care for your genuine horn product, please avoid washing it in the dishwasher or with strong solvents, detergents, and/or chemicals. Use mild soap and lukewarm water, and towel dry immediately after washing. Do not microwave your horn or use it for hot liquids, as this can melt the inner coating and extreme temperature swings can cause the horn to crack. Avoid rubbing your horn against sharp objects, as its surface can scratch. Keep your horn out of extreme heat or cold.
