Sacred/Secular * * The dramatic narratives and rich botanical details of the Unicorn Tapestries have prompted sacred as well as secular interpretations. This is true, especially, of The Unicorn in Captivity, the most beloved tapestry at The Met Cloisters. Sacred readings of this hanging construe the unicorn as a symbol of Christ, while secular readings interpret him as a happy groom bonded by marriage. These analyses come together in Thom Browne's dazzling wedding dress, which was accompanied down the runway by a life-size unicorn puppet. Composed of hundreds of white tulle ribbons, the dress has a unicorn camouflaged across its surface, its outline barely visible in gold thread. The back vents are bordered by red ribbons, a poignant allusion to the red drops on the animal's back in the tapestry, often interpreted as the juice of the pomegranate. In a secular reading of the fruit as a symbol of fertility, these red ribbons can suggest menstrual blood. But with a sacred understanding of the pomegranate as a symbol of the Resurrection, they can be interpreted as Christ's blood. Browne's wedding dress, like the tapestry, serves as a poetic reminder that, for the medieval mind, the secular and the sacred were deeply intertwined and nothing was ever far from God.
