The Unicorn Tapestries
We all know her - she’s been used as a backdrop for tv shows and substack articles and ren faires - but the added lore and debated symbolism keep me so fascinated by this series (and the passing of ownership!)

“I am just constantly in awe of all the stages that went into the creation of these tapestries--from the commissioning to the cartoons to the dyeing of the yarn to the weaving to finally their display. Textile is such a fragile material in the scheme of things and the fact that these--all of these!--have survived centuries will literally never fail to impress me.”
