Mead horn, drinking horn, Wodan's knot / Valknut, handmade, individually crafted
The three intertwined triangles of the Wotan's knot symbolize the structure of the Germanic cosmos. The triangles embody the three planes of Asgard (world of the gods), Midgard (world of men), and Utgard (underworld). The nine corners represent the nine worlds of Asgard, Midgard, Hel, Jötunheim, Ljósálfheim, Muspelheim, Vanaheim, Svartálfheim, and Niflheim.
Additionally, the Wodan's knot is also a symbol of destiny. Like the three Norns, it stands for the past, present, and future.
Historically, the Valknut is documented, for example, by the picture stone of Tängelgårda from the 7th century. The Wodan's knot is also depicted on the Stora Hammer Runestone.
