It was the dominant writing system of the Viking Age, used on runestones, weapons, and personal objects across Scandinavia and wherever the Norse settled. Carving a name or phrase in Younger Futhark was a mark of identity and ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 12–16\" in length (natural variation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthically sourced ox horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightly carved with Younger Futhark runes — \u003cem\u003eBushman Survival\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a free leather holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery horn is unique in size, shape and colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in South Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Blow a War Horn\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are functional instruments and do require a technique — once you get it, the sound is extraordinary.
