Programs like "The Witcher", "Game of Thrones" and of course "The Vikings" have popularised Viking or pseudo-Viking imagery and themes.
Some of our best-selling horns and tankards capture these in their brilliantly carved designs and because they are so popular we have created a special page for them to make them easier for you to find.
Using traditional methods of manufacture Lord of Battles has revived the age old craft of turning waste products from humanely slaughtered domestic cattle (Bos Taurus) into useful everyday items like drinking horns. Each individual horn as its own unique natural glaze and patterning which are enhanced by the craftsmen making these products so each drinking horn is unique.
Each horn also comes with either a wooden or metal stand so it can be placed upright on a flat surface. We can also provide leather belt holders in a variety of sizes for most of the horns.Not only are the drinking horns popular with our historical re-enactment customers but they are also popular with hospitality businesses, beer drinkers, film and theatre companies and the general public.
The horns come in different sizes and being natural products there is a wide range of shapes, colouration and liquid capacity within each size range. The photos accompanying each product listing are indicative of the horns or tankards of that type.
Note that we cannot provide custom made or personalised drinking horns
