Product description
This drinking horn is engraved with the Welsh dragon y ddraig goch. The dragon is the national symbol of Wales. This drinking horn is hand made from a real oxhorn. Avoid dishwashers and hot drinks. Wash for use under running water. After each use with beeswax, treat for a longer lifespan.
Dragons were the mythical variant of the snake and were already included in the earliest myths of modern man. With the spread of humans, dragon mythology also migrated all over the world. With many Indo-European peoples, dragons play a prominent role in their mythologies. In Germanic and later Vikingmythology, dragons are seen as all -destructive monsters. At the same time, they symbolize the malignant beast that must be defeated by a hero. These two archetypes - the destroyer and the opponent of the hero - reinforce each other.
Historically, drinking horns have a deep symbolic meaning. Almost all Indo-European peoples used drinking horns. Friends drank together from the same horn to emphasize their relationship, based on oath -bound reciprocity. Viking Women are regularly depicted with drinking horns, which means the holy role of the hostess. The Greeks and Romans used Hoorns during plen sacrifices, which emphasizes an oath -bound reciprocal relationship with the gods. Drinking horns were ideal for this, because the Hoorns emphasize cattle that played a central role in our originally nomadic steppe culture more than 5,000 years ago. We also see this in stories about Veeroof
