It can be used as a cup, or depending on the size of the horn you can make a drinking vessel that’s good or well over a pint. Please note that I'm not making a drinking horn, in the Viking sense – rather were looking to make a commonly available, common man's "glass " or ale cup. They were also called beakers. http://www.florilegium.org/files/CRAFTS/Mk-a-Horn-Cup-art.html Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:59:13 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=20837 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=20837 Horn was the plastic of earlier times. Once cured and cleaned, it can be worked endlessly into almost anything. You can make horn cups, spoons, inkwells, combs, salt and spice horns and almost anything else including, of course, hunting and powder horns. It is more or less compressed hair, like toenails and hooves, it requires different treatment and methods than bone, some are close to woodworking others aren't but all the methods are easy to learn. http://www.florilegium.org/files/CRAFTS/Horn-Working-art.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:46:07 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=19714 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=19714 Source material for medieval combs and how to make them.

The translation below is based on the Phillipps-Corning Mappae Clavicula manuscript, currently in the Corning Museum of Glass at Corning, NY. This manuscript was translated by Sir Thomas Phillips and printed in the 1847 edition of Archaeologia. This manuscript is primarily concerned with metalworking and making of pigments, but scattered among the recipes are several that deal with creating "dye" liquids (used either to paint or dye fabric) and instructions for dyeing fabric and leather. http://www.elizabethancostume.net/dyes/mappae.html Tue, 25 Jul 2006 13:23:46 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=12664 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=12664 Descriptions of objects found in archaeological excavations of Fishergate House and Blue Bridge Lane in York; includes pins, combs, a buckle plate, a sledge runner, styli, handles, and beads. http://www.archaeologicalplanningconsultancy.co.uk/mono/001/rep_bone_obj.html Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:55:34 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=11296 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=11296
