Heraldic Panel with Arms of Lichtenfels and a Unicorn Hunt (1515, Germany or Switzerland) - Catholic Stock Photo

Details:

The upper half of this panel shows a unicorn hunt reconfigured to represent the Annunciation. Only a virgin could lure a unicorn who is seen here grasping the horn of the mythical beast; not far behind are the hunter and hounds. The Virgin here is the Virgin Mary and arriving at the scene is the angel Gabriel dressed as a hunter. source
