Chieftain Drinking Horn 0,5 L with Stand

Epic Armoury’s Dark Chieftain Drinking Horn is a drinking vessel designed to hold half a liter of your favorite grog. This genuine horn comes from the Indian water buffalo, and was chosen specifically for its dark coloring. The outside is polished to perfection and engraved with a crisscross pattern. The inside of the horn is treated for food consumption and longevity using a lacquer 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 war meetings. 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 the wrought iron horn stand that comes with this purchase. With the proper care, you can expect your Chieftain Drinking Horn to last many long years.

• Available in Dark Horn and Light Horn colors
