Pair of 17th century oak carved sculptures depicting two children holding cornucopias, original polychrome throughout.
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.
