See under Khantsi (Georgian drinking vessel).

Name (also Kantsi) for a drinking horn in Georgia, which is made from a goat or ram's horn. It is fitted with a silver cuff and a chain with which it can be hung. The vessel is a traditional element of the "supra", a formal dinner at which toasts are made and then toasted.
