The Hunt of the Unicorn (1495-1505), also know as The Unicorn Tapestry, is a series of seven tapestries depicting the hunt, capture, and killing of a unicorn. Because each tapestry is different their size varies, ranging from 368 x 378 cm. to 368 x 261 cm.

The griffin and unicorn are both beautiful creatures made by the gods. Unicorns are mythical creatures from the Roman times that had the body of a large horse and the strength of 25 horses. But what made it special is the fact that it had a spiraling, golden horn projecting from it's forehead that had magical healing powers.
