Lady and the Unicorn Smell I Belgian Wall Tapestry 10-29 Inches Tall arms interlocking in a showThis is one of the six tapestries in the Lady and the Unicorn series. This tapestry represents the sense of smell. The lady stands, making a wreath of flowers. Her maidservant holds a basket of flowers within her easy reach. Again, the lion and unicorn frame the lady while holding on to the pennants. The monkey has stolen a flower which he is smelling, providing the key to the allegory.
