An early-20th Century pair of large silver-plated drinking horns. The silver-plated covers are shaped like crowns, while the mounts and stands feature a child holding onto a dog in motion. A wonderful pair of items which will enhance any interior. The horn is unmarked, Continental German. Drinking horns, traditionally crafted from animal horns, were used in various cultures, especially by the Vikings, for drinking and ceremonial purposes. They were often associated with feasting and rituals, with some believed to have held mead, ale, or wine. The horns were sometimes decorated with intricate carvings or metal fittings, signifying the status of the owner or the significance of the occasion. Aside from their functional use as drinking vessels, drinking horns were also symbolic of strength, warrior culture, and hospitality, often featured in communal gatherings, celebrations, and even oaths.
