Since distant pagan times to its' place as one of the Queen's Beasts in today's Royal Coat of Arms, the Unicorn has always been a mysterious beast of fable.

Its' origin in our folklore is not known but, unlike so many creatures of myth, even from the earliest times it was not a creature that inspired terror in mankind, but represented strength, goodness and selflessness.

Legend holds that the Unicorn's horn contained a liquid that would give protection against disease and that the powdered horn itself would, when added to food or drink, neutralize poison.

A full sized edition of this piece, standing some 9 feet tall, is available for private commission, price available upon application.
