Did you know?
The unicorn—a legendary horned horse from medieval folklore and mythology—has captivated human imagination for centuries across cultures from Europe to Asia. Often symbolizing grace, purity, and magic, unicorns appear frequently in tapestries, heraldry, and fantasy art. Though rooted in myth, their enduring appeal stems partly from real animals like the narwhal, whose spiral tusk may have inspired accounts of horned creatures. In modern craft and children's media, pastel-colored unicorns represent wonder, individuality, and escapism into an enchanted realm.
