Large pair of polychromed and gilded winged angels holding cornucopiae "cornu copia is Latin for horn of plenty."
Cornucopia comes from the Late Latin cornu copiae, which translates literally as “horn of plenty.” A traditional staple of feasts, the cornucopia is believed to represent the horn of a goat from Greek mythology.
