Cornucopia

Allegorical depiction of the Roman goddess Abundantia with a cornucopia, by Rubens (ca. 1630)

In classical antiquity, the cornucopia /ˌkɔːrnjəˈkpiə, ˌkɔːrnə-/ (from Latin cornu copiae), also called the horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment from Amaltheia, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers or nuts. A common depiction of it comes from the Fruit of the Loom logo.
