Due to the unique and
personal nature of Drinking Horns, each one is
individually designed and hand-crafted. Here you can find
a detailed description of how to start designing your own
personal Drinking Horn. Consider the width, the
decorations and the style of the Horn Rim. The number of
bands around the Middle of the Horn can also vary. You can also pick
from various Horn Finals. Some
Horns additionally feature a leather carrying strap or a
belt loop. And of course, the Horn themselves vary quite a bit in size and color. Please inquire
for details of current selections.
The pictures here are of sample Horns already sold.
They are meant as a
guide for your imagination ...
Above
you
may
view
the Rim (left), the Band (center) and the Tip
(right) of the Horn featured at the top of this page.
These are the 3 main components, which make up a Horn.
The Rim of the Horn can be designed by using
multiple metals (Silver & Bronze) and
components. The Horn featured above has a 2"
wide Sterling Silver Rim with a Half-Round
Lip, hand-stamped lower borderline and applied
components in Bronze & Silver. The Band is
1 1/4" wide Sterling Silver with Bronze
half-round Beading and Sterling Silver
components. The Tip is our large Eagle Head
Terminal. It is shown with an optional Ring. A
Leather Strap is mounted onto the Ring (see
top photo for complete view). The Leather
Shoulder Strap (optional) comes with your
choice of Period Studs, Buckles and
Strap Ends.
(Please see our Buckles,
Strap Ends & Mounts page.)
The above pictured Horn Rims employ stamp
work in their design. This
method allows for application of your individual line art.
An optional Band may also be designed to match the motive of
your personalized Horn Rim.
Here are your choices of
Horn terminals:
From right to left: Raven, Wolf, Lion and the large
Eagle.
Each of them may grip an optional Ring for suspension of a
strap or chain.
In this case, the Horn Rim must also include a Ring to
complete the suspension.
Our Horns come in
2 basic sizes: about 12" long and about 20" long.
Occasionally, there are also small Horns available for
stronger beverages.
On rare occasions, is it possible to receive a
matching pair of Horns.
And on special request, we can get LARGE Horns.
