The Unicorn

James Doran-Webb’s "Unicorn" represents enchantment, purity, strength and majesty. The Unicorn’s head is bowed in a gesture of respectful acknowledgement towards the observer, while simultaneously conveying a distinct message of independence and need for boundaries.

The earliest reference to a unicorn is found in Mesopotamian art and texts circa 2000 BCE. More recently, some 500 years ago, Scotland adopted the unicorn as its national symbol & it was subsequently incorporated into the English royal coat of arms when the Scottish King James VI ascended to the English throne in 1603.

Under the long dead wood lies a well engineered “armature” or structure made from recycled stainless steel that extends from a subterranean base, through the stainless steel hooves to the very tip of the Horn, which is handcrafted from the same material in James’ workshop. The Unicorn weighs some 600kg and is strong enough to allow an intrepid person or two to ride him.​
