kernos
In the typology of ancient Greek pottery, the ''kernos'' (Greek κέρνος or κέρχνος, plural ''kernoi'') is a pottery ring or stone tray to which are attached several small vessels for holding offerings. Its unusual design is described in literary sources, which also list the ritual ingredients it might contain.〔 Jacquelyn Collins-Clinton, A Late Antique Shrine of Liber Pater at Cosa (Brill, 1976), pp. 29 –30 (online. )〕 The ''kernos'' was used primarily in the cults of Demeter and Kore, and of Cybele and Attis.〔Phillippe Borgeaud, ''Mother of the Gods: From Cybele to the Virgin Mary'' (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996, English translation 2004), (''passim''. )〕
The Greek term is sometimes applied to similar compound vessels from other cultures found in the Mediterranean, the Levant, Mesopotamia, and South Asia.〔''Excavations at Mohenjo Daro, Pakistan: The Pottery'' (University of Pennsylvania Museum, 1986), p. 226 ( online. )〕
==Literary description==
Athenaeus preserves an ancient description of the ''kernos'' as
The ''kernos'' was carried in procession at the Eleusinian Mysteries atop the head of a priestess, as can be found depicted in art. A lamp was sometimes placed in the middle of a stationary ''kernos''.〔The verb ''kernophorein'' means "to bear the ''kernos''"; the noun for this is ''kernophoria''; Stephanos Xanthoudides, "Cretan Kernoi," ''Annual of the British School at Athens'' 12 (1906), p. 9.〕
