Drinking Horn

A drinking horn with silver-gilt mounts. The horn is curved and decorated with bands of bronze-gilt running vertically down the horn. There are two decorated bands running around the circumference of the horn. The larger band has two clawed feet on which the horn stands. At the narrow end of the horn there is a long tapering, curved mount with a spherical top. A silver mouth with engraved floral motifs was added at a later date. Northern German or Scandinavian.
