Cernunnos Offering Plate – Horned God, Nature Balance & Seasonal Rites

This handmade stoneware offering dish is designed for ritual use, devotional altar work, and sacred display. Featuring a sgraffito image of Cernunnos, the Horned God, this piece draws directly from the iconic imagery of the Gundestrup Cauldron, depicting the forest god in his meditative, yogic posture.

Cernunnos—also known as the Horned One or Kernnunos—is traditionally associated with the wild wood, cycles of life and death, fertility, animal guardianship, and masculine balance within nature. Often honored at Yule and seasonal transitions, he stands as a counterpart to the Goddess and a symbol of mature, grounded power aligned with the natural world.

In this depiction, Cernunnos wears the torc, representing sovereignty, sacred union, and his role as husbandman to Mother Earth. With one hand, he bestows a torc outward—an offering of blessing, balance, and authority—while remaining deeply rooted in communion with the living world.

Each dish is hand-formed from stoneware clay, preserving organic shape and subtle surface variation. No two pieces are identical. Variations in glaze tone, line weight, and form are intentional and inherent to the handmade process.

This dish is well suited for:

• Offerings to Cernunnos or nature deities

• Seasonal rites (especially Yule and liminal transitions)

• Holding crystals, talismans, herbs, or devotional items

• Nature-based, Celtic, or Horned God altar setups
