Kevin Owens, writing on the website All about Unicorns, suggests that the “Lion represents the urge to impose one’s idea of order upon the world, while the Unicorn exemplifies the drive to bring harmony through insight and understanding. Their effects are often identical, but their different approaches tend to promote strife. However, when the Lion and the Unicorn work in harmony toward the same goal, no other creature can withstand them because they represent a union of opposites.”

James Huneker, in his book Unicorns, tells us that the crown for which the two beasts fight symbolizes art, and the struggle represents the conflict between the rational mind and the imagination. “The crown is Art, and the Lion, being a realist born, is only attracted by its glitter, not the symbol. The Unicorn, an idealist, divines the inner meaning of this precious fillet of gold. Art is the modern philosopher’s stone, and the most brilliant jewel in this much-contested crown.”
