Unicorn from Cluny Tapestry Sight - Tapestry at Cluny Museum, Paris, 15th Century A.D.

Unicorn from Cluny Tapestry Sight - This relief is based on the 15th century tapestry, Sight, one of a series of allegories of the senses depicting the Lady, the Unicorn and the Lion. The Unicorn, one of the most powerful and poignant of medieval symbols, represented both spiritual and courtly love. As Christ, he is betrayed, captured and put to death, but is ultimately immortal. In the Cluny Tapestries, he is the tender and trusting lover.8.5"H, Ivory
