Ex-Libris (book plate) competition in Lithuania for Trakai Peninsula Castle, which was based on unicorns. Back in 1962 a unicorn artefact thought to be from the 14th Century, was unearthed by archaeologists in the grounds of the caste, and has since been adopted as a symbol of the castle, and so became the subjct for this competition. The main gist of the competition was to use the symbol of the unicorn and include the words ‘Ex-Libris’ and also who it was dedicated to (I chose the castle itself). My unicorn is based on the Lithuanian heavy draft horse.
