From time immemorial... The horn of plenty рог изобилия
The horn of plenty, or cornucopia, is the symbol of abundance. According to the myth, when Jupiter was a baby he was nursed by nymphs with the milk of Amalthea, the goat. The broken horn of Amalthea filled with fruits, vegetables, and flowers was brought to Jupiter by one of the nymphs. Jupiter presented the horn to the nymphs promising that it would become filled with whatever they wished. On this account it was called the horn of plenty. Ceres, the goddess of the growing vegetation, is usually drawn by painters with the horn of plenty in her left hand. Sometimes the fruits, vegetables, and flowers are being poured on the Earth from the full horn, and sometimes they are held in it as in a basket.
