The Carnyx Deskford is a fully playable reproduction of the ancient Celtic war horn, inspired by Iron Age instruments used by the Celts. Historically, the carnyx was employed as a powerful psychological tool on the battlefield, producing resonant sounds to signal troops and intimidate opposing forces.

Crafted from durable brass and finished in a striking gold tone, this impressive instrument stands approximately 6 feet tall. Its commanding presence makes it ideal for historical displays, reenactments, educational use, or themed performances. Despite its size, the carnyx remains manageable in weight, allowing for easier transport and setup.

This piece combines historical authenticity with functional craftsmanship, making it a standout addition to any collection of ancient musical instruments or Celtic artifacts.

Materials

Unless indicated differently in each product description, our shields are made out of 15mm thick birch plywood and consolidated by a steel hand-hammered umbo and iron bolts.

Shipping & Returns

We offer free US shipping. The average estimated shipping time is 30 days, including a 7 to 15 days of production for our more complex handmade crafts.

Unless advised otherwise under each product listing, we have a 30-day return policy and a hassle free return policy if you are not satisfied with your item. Terms and conditions apply.

Dimensions

Unless indicated otherwise, our shields have a 24 inches diameter (61 cm) and weights around 6.6 pounds (3 kg)
Because these are handmade products made with real wood blanks the sizes, textures and overall appearance may vary from the product photos and description. Some blanks might be smaller than anticipated, or larger sizes too thick to transport at a low cost. 

Care Instructions

We recommend applying three or four times per year some beeswax polish to protect the wood surface from moisture and sunlight. Apply the oil onto a lint-free cloth and rub into the wooden surface following the direction of the grain. Leave for 3-4 minutes and buff over with a clean cloth.
