In one of the most famous Sagas of the Viking Age, the legendary Egil Skallagrímsson once had his drinking horn poisoned by a chieftain's wife at a feast. Egil carved magic runes on the drinking horn along with a ritual and charm to make the poison have no effect. Engraved on this mug is what we think the runes may have been.
