Ah, the sweet taste of mead! You and your fellow warriors have returned to the mead hall, your Warrior Drinking Horns filled to their golden brims. With great cheers and a resounding ‘Huzzah!,’ you deep deeply.

There is nothing better than sitting with your fellows, having survived yet another battle. Tomorrow may change, but for today, you are the hard-earned victor.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Light Warrior Drinking Horn is a drinking vessel designed to hold half a liter of your finest mead. This genuine horn comes from the Indian water buffalo, and was chosen specifically for its lighter colour. The outside is polished to perfection and the lip of the horn is plated with a smooth metal band. The inside of the horn is treated for food consumption and longevity using a wax coating.

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 feasts and campfires! Use it like any other cup (remember to drink with the point of the horn rotated to the left or right...you’ll thank us) and keep it from spilling by resting it in a leather frog on your belt or in a horn stand. With the proper care, you can expect your Warrior Drinking Horn to last many long years.
