Drinking Horn

Pictish Moon – Crescent and Rod | Drinking Horn | 500 ml This drinking horn is inspired by the Pictish Crescent and Rod symbol, often associated with lunar cycles, transformation, and cosmological meaning in Pictish stone carvings of early medieval Scotland. Interpreted by many as a symbol connected to the moon, time, and ritual knowledge, it adds a layer of mystery and depth to this functional object. Crafted from natural cow horn, this 500 ml drinking horn is shaped and finished by hand, respecting the organic curve and translucency of the material. Variations in color, texture, and form are inherent to horn and ensure that each piece is truly one of a kind. The design draws from archaeological iconography rather than direct reproduction, allowing the ancient symbol to live within a contemporary handmade object. Suitable for drinking mead, beer, wine, or water, this horn can also serve as a ritual vessel, ceremonial object, or collector’s piece. This horn bridges archaeology, symbolism, and lived experience. It reflects how ancient peoples may have used everyday objects as carriers of meaning, connecting ritual, cosmology, and craft through functional forms.#drinkinghorn#cowhorn#horncup#pictish#pictishsymbols#crescentandrod#moon#lunarsymbol#archaeology#arqueologia#archeologia#archéologie#ancientart#earlymedieval#materialculture#handmade#handcrafted#feitoamao#faitmain#artigianale#artesanal#artisanal#oneofakind#uniquepiece#pagan#paganstyle#ritualobject#ceremonial#livinghistory#reenactment#naturalmaterials#heritage#collectoritem#slowmade
