Uhtred's Mug

Uhtred's Mug

This horn mug has been carved with two ravens, commonly seen on banners during the Viking Age and then inked in black and striking red ink.  It has then been polished to a high gloss finish. All our mugs are made from cow horns and have a 5 mm solid oak bottom.

Uchtred, or Uhtred, called the bold (died 1016), was the Ealdorman of all Northumbria from 1006 to 1016, when he was assassinated. He was the son of Waltheof 1, Ealdorman of Bamburgh, whose ancient family had ruled from the castle of Bamburgh on the Northumbrian coast.

Uhtred is also more commonly known now as the main character of the popular TV series The Last Kingdom.

All our horn products are completely handmade in our Yorkshire-based workshop, so please be aware there is a production time of around 3-4 weeks once the order has been placed.

All our horn products are handmade in our Yorkshire-based workshop. All horns arrive in their completely natural state. We then sand, polish and line the inside of each individual piece. All designs are drawn on and carved entirely by hand.

The inside of the horn has been extensively cleaned and then lined using food-grade beeswax. We try to keep everything as authentic and organic as possible, which is why we opt for a deodorized beeswax lining rather than a polyurethane one. Because we use natural wax, the horn isn't suitable for hot drinks. All drinking horns and mugs come with a set of care instructions.

Our horns come without a stand unless specified otherwise. All our stands are made exclusively for Horns of Odin by our UK-based blacksmith and can be found in the "horn accessories" section. 

These horns are made to order, so they may differ from the product pictures. If you have a preferred colour horn, please leave a message with your order, and we will do everything we can to accommodate.

The customer pays any customs fees that may occur with items sent to Europe.
