War horn
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
War Horn
This is our plain war horn, polished to a high gloss finish. We don't use trumpet reeds in our war horns; each mouthpiece has been hand-carved to match the traditional Viking method.
War Horns are sounding devices typically made from animal horn. A mouthpiece is carved into the "tip" of the horn, allowing the user to blow the horn, creating an extremely loud, distinctive noise. The most famous Viking war horn was Gjallarhorn, which belonged to the God Heimdall, who would sound the horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarok (the end of the world).
If name option is chosen please leave a message on the order stating what name you would like engraving into the horn and also whether you would like the name in English or in Runes.
- Length: 35 cm (Approx)
- High gloss polish
- Handcrafted in the U.K
- Traditional mouthpiece
- Option to add either a copper or brass raven rim
- Option to add a personalised name
