This tapestry represents the "Unicorn in captivity" which was woven at Flandres in 1500 and which is part of a set of six tapestries named "Unicorn hunting", exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum - New York. In the Middle - Ages, this legendary animal was regarded as the symbol of purity. It is fastened by a golden chain to a tree bearing pomegranates, signifying marriage and fertility. 

Each tapestry is delivered doubled and ready to hang up on wall. A certificate of authenticity is affixed on the back. Beyond a quality seal, it indicates the point of weaving, the title and the subject of the tapestry, but, what’s most important, registers every tapestry in a matchless craft heritage.
