I agree ladoga, no leather or metallic belt loops have ever been found to support this method of carrying a drinking horn. I find simply tucking the horn in the belt easy enough. Personally Im not keen on carrying a drinking vessel around with me and hardly ever do. If we do a combat show we have a person with a period water bucket and large sipping spoon that we use for drinking. Spreading germs just like the norsemen did lol.

In my opinion the main important thing in reconstruction is to build your knowledge on archaeological excavations, findings and ofcourse books. For the last almost 200 years of viking graveyard excavations no one found any example of this kind of burial. And you can ask for example prof. Duczko from University of Uppsala if he ever sow anything like that:-) or any major viking period specialist. You need to decide what you wont to reconstruct A.True knowledge B. Guess |
