Drinking horns were the ceremonial drinking vessel for those of high status all through the medieval period. They often contained liquids such as ale or mead. Drinking horns are still used today often in wedding and other types of ceremonies. Hand polished with an eagle carved into the surface this horn is great for such ceremonies or just decorative purposes. It comes with a twisted iron stand designed to work with almost any horn size. Horn stands are required at feasts and gatherings where people will be using horns to drink because the horn cannot be otherwise set down without spilling its contents. Horns from cows, buffalo or oxen have traditionally been used as drinking vessels by various people in many regions of the world; this fine specimen is a great example of the practice. * Please not there may be a slight odor as this is a natural item. The color and shape may vary and may not be exactly like the picture. Item may have minor scratches due to buffing and natural material. When measuring this item we measure it at the spine. This is an all-natural item and you will need to coat inside with beeswax. In order to do this you will melt the beeswax and pour it in the horn. Wait for it to dry and then pull it out. 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. Please do not use hot liquids in this item. The variations in their shapes and colors can only be made by nature; thus a horn may have natural blemishes which will not affect its functionality but does verify its authenticity.

Exceeded my expectations
Item arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased! I bought three horns from Armory Replicas, two roe deer (one etched and one burnt) and this eagle, all are beautiful. I couldn't stop thinking about them all day at work, they are goregous! This one is by far the biggest, my boyfriend will love it (really it's too big for the stand, but that's ok. The other two fit the stand great). When I was looking for drinking horns I stumbled upon Armory Replicas by accident and I was so excited to see a trusted SCA name. My aunt loves the ones I purchased and would like the horse one for a friend, I told her to only buy from this company. These were to be Christmas gifts for myself, boyfriend, and friend. Originally they were suppose to be here on the 28th of December, I was ok that they were going to be late... shouldn't have waited to the last min, lol. They arrived today!! Five days early and in time for Christmas!! Honestly, I knew I was doing a good thing when I chose AR, but this exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much!

My brother absolutely loved it!
My brother absolutely loved it!!!! He's a huge viking fan. Only problem I'd say would be by the mouth piece, its unraveling a tiny bit. I'm sure its a easy fix ;)

Attn seller!
I'm hoping the seller sees this. I received this as a gift, I'm pleased with the horn and it's overall quality, but my eagle is upside down! I would have given 5* otherwise.
