Viking Valknut Horn with Stand

The drinking horn we offer here is handcrafted from cattle horn, polished and embellished with an engraved Valknut symbol framed by a sequence of runes. The valknut, a symbol consisting of three interlocking triangles, appears in a wide variety of archaeological finds ascribed to the Germanic peoples. While its true meaning remains a matter of speculation to date, some experts tend to believe that it may be associated with Odin, the father of all gods in Norse mythology. It has now found its place in modern culture, adorning many pieces of jewellery, talismans or decorative objects, and is particularly popular with followers of Paganism, also known as Germanic Neopaganism (for example, followers of Ásatrú).
