The Golden Horns of Gallehus were two horns made of sheet gold, discovered in Gallehus, north of Møgeltønder in Southern Jutland, Denmark. [1] The horns dated to the early 5th century, i.e. the beginning of the Germanic Iron Age. The horns were found in 1639 and in 1734, respectively, at locations only some 15–20 metres apart. [1]
The inscription reads, "ek hlewagastiR holtijaR horna tawido"; "I, Hlewagastir Holtson ("Holt's son" [1]), made this horn". [2] The horn, made out of gold, is one of the two Golden Horns of Gallehus; the one Hlewagast signed was found in 1734. Both were stolen in 1802 and melted, but both horns were reconstructed on the basis of earlier drawings.
