PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Large Rustic War Horn
This is our plain rustic war horn, that has been finished to a more rustic and natural state. We don't use trumpet reeds in our war horns, each and every mouthpiece has been hand carved to match the traditional Viking method.
War Horns are sounding devices that were 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 the Gjallerhorn which belonged to the God Heimdall, who would sound the horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarok (The end of the world).
