cornucopia

Overflowing harvest vessel

A cornucopia is a horn-shaped container overflowing with fruits, vegetables, and flowers—a symbol of abundance associated with harvest festivals and Thanksgiving decorations.

The image extends to any overflowing plenty: a cornucopia of options, a cornucopia of delights.

The word comes from Latin for "horn of plenty."
