A horn of plenty is a curved, hollow horn overflowing with fruits, vegetables, flowers, and grain. It appears in paintings, decorations, and stories as a symbol of abundance, a good harvest, and prosperity. You've probably seen one at Thanksgiving, often made as a woven basket shaped like a horn and filled with seasonal produce like apples, pumpkins, and corn.

The horn of plenty comes from ancient Greek and Roman mythology, where it belonged to a magical goat that nursed the god Zeus when he was a baby. According to legend, one of the goat's horns broke off and gained the power to fill itself with whatever food or drink its owner desired. The horn never ran empty.

The horn of plenty is also called a cornucopia. Artists throughout history have used it to represent prosperity and generosity. When a family displays a cornucopia at Thanksgiving, they're celebrating the harvest and expressing gratitude for having plenty to eat. The curved horn shape, spilling over with nature's bounty, captures the idea of having more than enough: true abundance and the ability to share with others.
