drinking-horn
Curved mead container
A drinking-horn is a vessel for beverages made from an animal's horn, typically from cattle or buffalo.
Associated with ancient and medieval cultures, particularly Norse and Germanic peoples, drinking-horns appear in historical accounts of feasts and rituals.
Modern replicas serve as novelties or ceremonial objects: He raised the drinking-horn in a mock Viking toast.
