In Norse mythology, Huginn and Muninn is a pair of ravens that fly all over the world, Midgard, and bring information to the god Odin. These ravens had symbolic names; translated from Old Norse, Huginn meant "thought" and Muninn,"mind." They came to symbolize Odin's vast knowledge and omnipotence, and were responsible for expanding his wisdom. This horn is hand carved from all natural horn. A beautifully crafted brass band with Celtic weave lines the lip. The tip has a carved tiger that is made from genuine brass. It has been polished inside and out. A food safe sealant coats the interior of the horn. Both ravens are etched on the front. Even after so long the ravens still have a place in the world's myths and legends as well as the ancient Nordic culture. Most importantly they will always represent the wisdom Odin brought to the kingdom of Asgard, the people of Earth, and to the world of myths and legends. *Please wash with a gentle detergent and polish with vegetable oil to keep it from drying out.
