Hey do you mind emailing me your paper at princesslunapie@gmail.com - I'm doing a project on The Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries too! Would really appreciate it, thanks! :)
So very interesting. From the first minute to the last. The amount of work that went into these objects takes my breath away. These tapestries and wall hangings would only have been enjoyed by the elite in those days. Does anyone have an idea of when these beautiful things might have been made. 1460s? Earlier? Later? How astonishing that these items have been carefully preserved through centuries for us to marvel at.
...and in the Last Unicorn 's name is Amalthea , the sea goat that feed baby Zeus , who accidently pulled a horn of plenty =cornucopia....Capricorn....Enki, Thoth, etc....
it did hint that the unicorn horn is for cures. that and in mythology the unicorn represents healing. or was it good health or good luck but I know they said to have healing powers.
Meteorite's sound Actually there is a lesser known series from the Medieval Times where men hunting a few unicorns are impaled by the unicorns who are defending themselves from the hunters.
Meteorite's sound Not correct, the Male used his ‘horn’ for hunting, killing and for defense against Dragons, human hunters, and cultivating the earth. The female used it for domestic chores, and could produce beautiful, Flutelike Melody ! Also, it was a cosmetic feature, used to attract her ‘courting Stallion’ ! Not to Mention, the Magical Powers, that it Held. Much sought after, by Rulers of Nations, and also by Evil men, with a desire to attain inHumane Advantage!
Unicorn is the belief in one God (monotheism). hunting for the unicorn is a story about how the Egyptian priesthood had attempted to overcome Christianity (p s on the the damaged canvas are three girls: in red, in Blue and in white) wikimedia labs logo fountain is a symbol of the education system
I get really annoyed when an act of violence against a thing of beauty and magic somehow becomes an act to symbolose Christianity. Christianity is the spear and the fence that both kills and imprisons magic. Christianity is the evil that has poisoned mankind and made the act of murder a holy thing. Christianity will die when men die. And the Unicorm will once again be free
Just saw these at The Cloisters, and am fascinated by the symbolism! Thanks so much for this comprehensive look at these historic works of art!
If only we had a magic unicorn to cleanse us of this pandemic
Oh! How we need the unicorn now.
Thank you for posting
I did my 15 page research paper on Unicorn Tapestry. This is amazing and very informative.

I just realised that "the last unicorn" movie opening was based on these.
these have always made me sad tho :(

I love this lore and intriguing observation 👍
I have no clue what this is or how i found it but im going to watch the whole thing
Damn, those hunters are a bunch of rotten jerks
Suggie Thames yeah over a darn Horn
The French unicorn…a very unique specimen
enchanting
unicorns didnt use their horn in order to kill someone i guess. they were harmless
it did hint that the unicorn horn is for cures. that and in mythology the unicorn represents healing. or was it good health or good luck but I know they said to have healing powers.

Read the hunt of the unicorn. Its about the tapestry
Unicorn is the belief in one God (monotheism). hunting for the unicorn is a story about how the Egyptian priesthood had attempted to overcome Christianity (p s on the the damaged canvas are three girls: in red, in Blue and in white)

You sound a little bitter.
I’m more afraid of current Islam than current Christianity
