Long before pottery, before carved wood, the hollow horn was already there: watertight, naturally shaped, and ready to use. It's a compelling thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we know for certain is that by the Viking Age, horn was a prized material. The Oseberg ship burial (834 AD) contained horn cups. Norse sagas reference the mead-horn as a ceremonial object. Medieval horners were a recognised guild trade across England. Horn was valued not just for its practicality, but for its beauty — no two pieces alike, each with its own natural patterning of translucent layers and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese large horn bowls carry that same character.
