A Brief History:

 Drinking horns can be dated back to prehistoric days. Horns were naturally hollow when the insides have dissipated. Every culture that has had cattle has used the horns for drinking. Horn is a versatile substance and can be shaped and molded into many useful items and early peoples used every part of the animals they hunted. Petroglyphs can be found of human figures holding horns.

Horns were so emulated that they became adorned with precious metals, carved, painted, and decorated with jewels. The ancient horns decayed, but the elaborate mounts and finials crafted from metal remained. Many examples can be found in museums today. The Romans and other cultures crafted drinking horns made of precocious glass for ceremonial use.

  Horns were also popular in Asia. In India they became replicated works of art created in elaborate designs by metal smith with attached legs and stands. 

  During the Renaissance period, horns fell out of fashion due to the popularity of other materials for drink ware. But, they were still prized as ceremonial pieces and used for celebrations.

The Norse culture is the most recognized for the use of drinking horns. The term “Viking” is often used to describe the cultures of the Norse, but this is a modern-day misconception. While much of the Norsemen were peaceful farmers, the term Viking did not describe the entire culture. Viking was more the term used for going on a sea voyage, and possibly raiding. It was also used to describe the Norse people who lived near the water and the fjords.
