horns of plenty
Overflowing harvest containers
Horns of plenty are cone-shaped containers or decorations overflowing with fruit, flowers, and grain—symbols of abundance and prosperity.
The image comes from the cornucopia of Greek mythology.
The phrase appears in Thanksgiving decorations and harvest imagery: The table centerpiece featured horns of plenty spilling apples and gourds.
Horn-shaped chanterelle mushrooms also go by this name.
