This is false, and the source of the error is precisely identified: in 1636, Danish scholar Ole Worm translated an Old Norse expression, \u003ci\u003eór bjúgviðum hausa\u003c\/i\u003e, which means \"from the curved branches of the skulls\" — in other words, from \u003cb\u003ehorns\u003c\/b\u003e, since they grow on the head. His Latin translation suggested that they drank from the skulls themselves, and the mistranslation spread throughout Europe. The skull therefore remains a style motif, not a Nordic banquet object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eTo learn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e Discover \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/berserkers-guerriers-fous-odin-vikings\" title=\"Berserkers: Odin's Mad Warriors\"\u003eour article on berserkers\u003c\/a\u003e and the legends surrounding the warriors of the North.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover other Viking accessories you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-crane-cornu-puces-acier\" title=\"Horned Skull Earrings — Steel Studs\"\u003eHorned Skull Earrings — Steel Studs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-cranes-creoles-acier\" title=\"Skull Earrings — Steel Hoop Earrings\"\u003eSkull Earrings — Steel Hoop Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-araignee-puces-acier\" title=\"Spider Earrings — Steel Studs\"\u003eSpider Earrings — Steel Studs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57869006242174,"sku":"LCV-BO-005-1","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/boucles-oreilles-crane-puces-acier-ambiance.jpg?v=1787165133","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-crane-puces-acier","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
