Drinking horn from the princely burial at Taplow, Buckinghamshire, Anglo-Saxon, late 6th century. Made from the extremely large horns of the aurochs (Bos primigenius), the ancestor of modern domestic cattle. Such horns are among the rarest finds from early Anglo-Saxon England. They were clearly one of the most prestigious possessions and have a long history amongst the barbarian peoples of Europe.
