Thor and the giant Hymir row out to sea. Thor baits his hook with an ox head. What takes it is Jörmungandr — the Midgard Serpent, so vast it encircles the entire earth and bites its own tail. Thor hauls it to the surface, Mjölnir raised, eyes locked on the serpent’s. The two greatest enemies in Norse mythology, face to face above the water.
Hymir panics and cuts the line. Jörmungandr sinks back into the deep. They will meet again at Ragnarök — and that time, neither will walk away. Thor will slay the serpent and take nine steps before the venom takes him.
That moment of tension — the raised hammer, the serpent breaking the surface, the line about to be cut — is carved on this horn.
Designed by Paul at Bushman Survival and crafted to his specification.

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.

I love the attention to detail on this sea chest, especially as I'll be using it aboard a longship. It's superbly made , the hinges and lock are authentic and Paul's correspondence was second to none. It's of solid and quality construction and well worth the cash!
I bought several sets of the hinges and locks for some Norse style chests I was making. All I can say is this craftsman is excellent, the hinges work really well and are in keeping with my project. The lock and key is to the same superb standard, work well and really finish a sea chest off perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchases, fast delivery and well packaged. Excellent value for money considering the work that must go into these items.
