AncientPages.com | January 14, 2019


A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - A cornucopia ( from Latin 'cornu copiae') - horn of plenty ) is often depicted in paintings and on friezes. It is a hollow horn-shaped container filled with the abundance of something like fruit, coins, flowers, nuts or any other desirable things.

It is an ancient symbol of boundless abundance.

Many of us have a cornucopia at home; it can be made of plastic, wicker, metal, wood or other materials. It can be symbolically filled with something valuable or simply beautiful.

Cornucopia – a horn of plenty – is a symbol of wealth, abundance, fertility and nourishment, highly respected by many ancient cultures including the Celts, whose concept of abundance was main part of their religion.
