A large clay dish used in the worship of Kybele (Cybele), the Mother of Gods, in her temple at Athens.
The temple, the Metroum, was built circa 430 BCE in an attempt to appease Kybele and free Athens from the plague which was decimating the population; the philosopher, Diogenes of Sinope is said to have slept in the Kernos as a demonstration of his commitment to the ideals of austerity and poverty.
