Throughout antiquity horn was used to make many everyday domestic items including eating utensils.

Horn has been used to make a vast range of items ever since cattle were first domesticated and our simple cow horn tumbler has been carefully designed so that it cannot be atributed to any particular era or culture yet is generic enough to be used for any.

This particular horn has a pirate skull engraved on it and is a welcome addition to our Pirate range.
