For the Mead Hall and Modern Feast

Steeped in the symbel (Old Norse "feast ritual") traditions of Viking chieftains, this drinking horn echoes the bragarfull (pledge cups) used to swear oaths in halls like Heorot from Beowulf. Crafted from water buffalo horn using techniques preserved in Icelandic sagas, each mug’s organic curves honor the Norse belief that drinking vessels should be as unique as the drinker’s wyrd (fate). The beeswax-lined interior—a modern twist on 9th-century pine-resin seals—repels mead spills as deftly as Thor’s goats evade mischief.

Crafted for Saga-Worthy Revelry

• 14 oz capacity (414 ml) – Perfect for toasts worthy of Odin’s poetry mead
• Naturally unique – No two horns share the same striations, much like Viking berserkir (warriors)
• Reclaimed oak stand – Carved to mimic hǫfuðstokkr (high-seat pillars) from Norse longhouses
• Waterproof seal – Survives mjöðr (mead) deluges and modern craft brews alike
• 12" height (30 cm) – Commands attention like a Jarl’s banner at the Thing assembly

Materials
Ethically sourced water buffalo horn

Food-grade beeswax blended with pine resin (inspired by Gotlandic artifact preservation)

Size Details
- Each mug honors the Viking maxim "mál er at þylja" ("it’s time to chant"):

- One-size-fits-most – Fits hands as calloused as Thor’s or as delicate as Freyja’s

- Natural variations – Embrace the ørlǫg (cosmic law) that no two horns are alike

Care Instructions
- Avoid Muspelheim’s fury – Never pour boiling liquids (stick to mead-temperature brews)

- Handwash – Use skýr (Icelandic yogurt) warmth water; air-dry upside-down like a longship’s prow

- Condition monthly – Apply flaxseed oil in clockwise circles to honor Sol’s journey
