Handmade Drinking Jol Viking Tumbler

The Winter Solstice was an important part of Viking Life and celebration. The Yule celebration as a whole was often referred to as “drinking jól”, as in “to drink” yule. This descriptive term strongly suggests that drink was an important part of the festivities. We also know that apart from drinking a lot, there would also be feasting, banquets, games and song – and sacrifice to the gods and other powers of winter. Join in on all the fun with this handmade tumbler that comes in red and green ombre. It also has been hand carved and hand polished from all natural horn. The flat bottom is made from stained wood. The inside is coated with a food grade sealant. If you are looking for an old world feel but with new world flair this cup is form you. Purchase several to complete table settings. Please wash with a gentle detergent and polish with vegetable oil to keep it from drying out. And from time to time you will want to use beeswax to coat the inside to keep from cracking and the inside drying out. Natural imperfections may be visible on this item. Please remember this is a natural item and each piece is unique.
