Antique Drinking Horn. Hollowed horn with silver adornment, decorated with impressed designs of ferns and flowers. Signed on silver near mouth.

Drinking horns are vessels used for drinking, traditionally made from animal horns, often cattle or goat, and date back to ancient times. Originating as early as the Bronze Age, they were widely used by various cultures, including the Scythians, Greeks, Romans, and especially the Vikings and Germanic tribes. Drinking horns were not only functional but also held cultural and symbolic significance. Many were ornately decorated with carvings, metalwork, or jewel inlays, showcasing their owner’s status or wealth. Vikings, for example, used drinking horns in feasts and ceremonies, associating them with strength and camaraderie. Over time, drinking horns evolved from everyday items to ceremonial objects, especially in medieval and Renaissance Europe. Today, they remain a popular symbol of Viking culture and craftsmanship, often recreated for historical reenactments, festivals, and collectors.
