Man has been enjoying the occasional beverage long before glasses became the norm. Often animal horns were hollowed out and used to hold tasty beverages at feasts and ceremonies. These drinks included mead, wine, and ale. Even today you can find vessels just like these being given as gifts or used during wedding ceremonies. The Compass Design Hand Carved Viking Drinking Horn Tankard Mug is completely 100% all natural and made from water buffalo horn. There are no two alike as they are as unique as the animal they came from.
