The Hunt Of The Unicorn Tapestry. Having spent nearly thirteen years studying and lecturing about the "The Hunt for the Unicorn" Tapestries, I hope you will enjoy this breakdown of the mysteries that make. These medieval tapestries combine two themes, Christian and pagan fertility, showing the unicorn (Christ) being hunted, killed and then resurrected.

The Hunt of the Unicorn or the Unicorn Tapestries (French: La Chasse à la licorne) is one of the most famous and spectacular but enigmatic survivors of the late Middle Ages.
The collection is housed at The Cloisters museum in New York City, but a reproduction is hanging at the Stirling Castle in Scotland. The Unicorn Tapestries are a set of seven historical art pieces that tell a story of a mythical beast. Final handwoven tapestry unveiled at Stirling Castle.
