This gorgeous journal reproduces the famous Unicorn in Captivity tapestry. Woven in France in the Middle Ages from silver, gold, silk, and wool, the tapestry depicts a unicorn beneath a pomegranate tree surrounded by flowers. Let this lovely image enchant your writing! 192 pages provide plenty of space for personal reflection, sketching, or jotting down favorite quotations or poems. Smooth-finish, acid-free archival paper takes pen or pencil beautifully. Touches of gold foil illuminate the cover design. Raised embossing lends dimensional detailing. Journal comes with a gold satin ribbon marker with which to keep your place. A classic feature: gilded-gold page edging. Journal is a larger size: 7-1/4 inches wide by 9 inches high. Bookbound, with complementary bronze endsheets. The unicorn tapestry is part of the collection of New York City's Metropolitan Museum's Cloisters. According to the Museum, the unicorn represents ''the beloved tamed.'' It is captive but is able to free itself at any time. The red on its coat is not blood but rather pomegranate juice. The pomegranate represents marriage and fertility; so do many of the plants depicted as well as the tiny frog at the lower right corner.
