This one-of-a-kind folk art creature is meticulously handmade in Brooklyn, NY. Inspired by the mythical beasts depicted in the famed Unicorn Tapestries at The Met Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park, this sculptural figure evokes the wonder and whimsy of medieval lore.
The body is crafted from high-quality silk velvet, offering a soft yet opulent texture that invites touch. An internal aluminum armature provides strength and flexibility, allowing the piece to retain its shape while subtly echoing the movement of living creatures.
Around its neck, a jacquard woven ribbon collar—patterned with intricate, period-inspired designs—is finished with solid brass findings, lending a regal, time-worn elegance. The result is a tactile, heirloom-quality piece that bridges ancient myth and contemporary folk tradition, perfect for collectors of fine handmade art or admirers of medieval storytelling.
