In the \u003cem\u003eKrákumál\u003c\/em\u003e, a 12th-century poem, the dying Ragnar announces that in Valhalla, they will drink \u003cem\u003eór bjúgviðum hausa\u003c\/em\u003e — \"from the curved branches of the skull,\" meaning \u003cstrong\u003ehorns\u003c\/strong\u003e, since horns grow on the head. In \u003cstrong\u003e1636\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Danish scholar \u003cstrong\u003eOle Worm\u003c\/strong\u003e provided a Latin version in which they drink \"from the skulls of slain enemies.\" The image spread across Europe and never recovered. Excavations have yielded neither skull cups nor anything similar — but many horns mounted in silver.\n\u003cp\u003eTo learn more, our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/chopes-mugs-tasses-vikings\"\u003etankard collection\u003c\/a\u003e brings together other models, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mugs-cornes-vikings\"\u003edrinking horns\u003c\/a\u003e offer the form that the North actually used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the same category\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/chope-viking-lattes-bois-anse-dragon-400ml\"\u003eViking Wooden Stave Tankard: Dragon Head Handle, 400 ml\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57918638686590,"sku":"LCV-CHOPE-CHOPEVIKINGCRANECASQUECORNUBLE","price":49.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/chope-viking-crane-casque-cornu-bleue-400ml-ambiance.jpg?v=1787747465","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/chope-viking-crane-casque-cornu-bleue-400ml","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
