{"product_id":"large-horn-bowl-viking-medieval","title":"Large Horn Bowl — Viking \u0026 Medieval Serving Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eHorn vessels may be among the oldest containers ever used by humans — a theory supported by logic if not yet by archaeology. 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. Each one is completely individual — the pattern, colour, and depth of the horn means what you receive is genuinely one of a kind. Stunning as a fruit bowl, a serving bowl, a display piece, or a centrepiece for a Viking or medieval-themed table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthentic across virtually every living history period — Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Viking, Saxon, medieval. Horn is one of the few materials that spans the entire human story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 32 x 22 x 10cm. Food safe. Each bowl is unique — the images show examples of the natural variation you can expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash only. A light coat of food-safe mineral oil will keep the horn nourished and looking its best. Avoid prolonged soaking or dishwashers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bushman Survival","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56389644583291,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1146\/4638\/files\/Large_Horn_Bowl_Viking_Medieval_Serving_Bowl.heic?v=1787492368","url":"https:\/\/bushmansurvival.com\/products\/large-horn-bowl-viking-medieval","provider":"Bushman Survival","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
