A cornucopia, often referred to as the "horn of plenty," is a symbol of abundance and nourishment. Traditionally depicted as a large, horn-shaped container overflowing with fruits, vegetables, and grains, it represents the harvest and the bounty of nature. The cornucopia is commonly associated with Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States, where it serves as a decorative centerpiece. Historically, the cornucopia has roots in ancient mythology, particularly in Greek mythology, where it was linked to the nurturing of the infant Zeus by the goat Amalthea. Over time, it has evolved into a universal symbol of prosperity and fertility, often used in art and literature to convey the idea of plentiful resources.
