Description
A single white mystical unicorn on a golden backdrop. A herd of unicorns would be called a blessing of unicorns and so in my attempt to create a unicorn I painted a blessing.
The unicorn is one of a very few mythological creatures that are considered to be beneficial in almost all traditions. Since antiquity, they have symbolized purity, magic and healing.
The unicorn has been the national symbol for Scotland since the 15th century reign of King James III, when it was featured on gold coins.
Nowadays, it is featured alongside a lion on the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Whereas the lion, representing England, is in this capacity a symbol of oppressive rule, the unicorn is a symbol of ruling by harmony.
