Unicorn Oversize Silk Shawl from The Met Museum

Our impressive scarf features the star of the famous Unicorn Tapestries (French/South Netherlandish, 1495-1505). With the fabled medieval animal at its center, this large-scale statement accessory in soft silk twill is ready to toss, tie, and wrap with style. The seven luxurious hangings at The Met Cloisters vividly depict scenes associated with a hunt for an elusive, magical unicorn. The Unicorn Rests in a Garden, featured on our scarf, shows the mythical creature loosely tethered to a tree and constrained by a low fence. Though he could escape, his confinement is apparently a happy one.
