Mounts from a Viking Age drinking horn, 8th- 11th century, Baltic. The ring is 7 cm across and exhibits fine chasing.

See pg 112 in "The Semigallians" (2005). "Most horns are known from cemeteries in coastal areas. In the eighth-eleventh centuries barely two to four percent of males in Semigallia were buried with a drinking horn."
