The Unicorn appears in Through the Looking Glass alongside the Lion , in a parody of chivalric combat.
In this chapter, Carroll subverts mythological symbols to create a gentle satire of reality: the Unicorn is at once whimsical, ironic and elegant , as immortalized by John Tenniel in his engravings.This figurine pays homage to this literary creature , by adopting Tenniel's precise and expressive graphic style, transposed into metal.
"If you believe in me, I will believe in you. Is that agreed?" — said the Unicorn to Alice.
