Viking Drinking Horn, Jormungandr The World Serpent

Viking Drinking Horn — Jörmungandr, The World Serpent

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr — also known as the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent — is a colossal sea serpent so vast he encircles the entire earth and bites his own tail. Son of Loki, he was cast into the ocean by Odin upon discovery, where he grew until he could hold the world in his coils. At Ragnarök, he and Thor are destined to meet in their final battle.

Horns in History

Drinking horns were used throughout Europe — by Vikings, Greeks, Romans, Germanic tribes, and Saxons — up to around the 12th century, when pottery became more widespread. Raising a horn is raising a piece of living history.
