Viking drinking horn

Here is my latest creation. Not firearm related, but relates to people who drink beer---lot's of it.
This is my first Viking drinking horn with the solid stand. It almost hold 2 liters of beer. The Rune " stone" is leather, and the writing van be read if you know the Viking alphabet. The helmet is a true representation of the ONLY real helmet ever found. The horns depicted in movies etc look cool, but not very practical in battle. The Viking ships colors and shield are also based on the real deal. The "teeth" are deer antlers.
Would love to get some solid feed back, and see if this may be worth making for others.
Thank you,
Henry
ps...the horn is real also, and the stand is wood.

I like it. I don't drink much beer though.

I like it. How much is a "litre", and what does that equal in bourbon?

About 1/2 gall...or 1/4 and be very side ways. Cost in bourbon-priceless.

One always have to think of new things from the past, and make it special.

Thank you all.

There are 3.785 liters in a gallon. Booze is commonly sold or known as a liter being a "fifth" and the 1.75 liter being a "half gallon".

Thank you for the word's. If that horn was filled with any proper bourbon, will for sure only have to be passed around a few times in order to achieve the correct state of happiness.

Thank you,
Henry
