Golden Horn of Gallehus Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The Golden Horn of Gallehus is a golden drinking horn, discovered in North Slesvig, or Schleswig, in Denmark. Around its rim it bears a runic inscription:

ek hlewagastiR holtijaR horna tawido

ᛖᚲ ᚺᛚᛖᚹᚨᚷᚨᛊᛏᛁᛉ ᚺᛟᛚᛏᛁᛃᚨᛉ ᚺᛟᚱᚾᚨ ᛏᚨᚹᛁᛞᛟ (Runic, Unicode)

The horn is believed to date to the fourth century. The horn itself was discovered in the village of Gallehus, near Møgeltønder; in 1639, and the Danish antiquarian Olaus Wormius wrote a treatise on the Golden Horn in 1641.
