From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: The mythological sister of the horse, the unicorn is our guide through a phantasmagorical equestrian dream, beyond space and time. Bridles and straps are criss-crossed, intermingling periods and civilizations, from ancien Assyria to tenth-century Caucasus, fifteenth-century Spain and seventeenth-century India. From the Celts to the Mongols, the fine art of bridling has been practiced with talent and Inventiveness. Drawing on the riches of local resources, each artisan takes expert delight in chasing and carving, cutting, embossing and sculpting... Stones of all kinds, ivory, wood, bronze, silver and gold obey his command, metamorphosing at his touch. Sometimes, the hand of man can engender supernatural beauty, working its enchantment across the ages.
