Seehausen Horns Aplenty

An interesting figurine was found by a certain Mr. Günter Wagener at Seehausen (county of Börde) just west of Magdeburg. I’ve had a picture or two of it before but think it’s interesting to see again.

Labeled, for obvious reasons, as the Trinkhornmann von Seehausen this is what it looks like:

The obvious item here is the potential cornucopia, the horn of plenty. A horn in Suavic mythology appears in a number of places:

  • Svantevit description in Saxo
  • Zbruch idol
  • Altenkirchen stone

More recently, another find is the “mini-horn” from Groß Strömkendorf (in county Nordwestmecklenburg).
