It is made from a horn of a bovid in the early days but has evolved through the centuries and different civilizations as people start to make them out of glass, wood, metal, and ceramics. The origin of horns can be traced, according to history, from the Scythians and the Thracians. Ancient drinking horns have been found worldwide. The Celts, Greeks, Scandinavians, Persians, and Romans are also among the cultures that used them.

Today, drinking horns are made popular once more as seen on the popular TV series “Vikings”, read on the novels of famous author J.R.R. Tolkien as drinking and blowing objects and even through it’s appearance on popular video games such as Might & Magic or The World of Warcraft.
