独角兽,贞洁战胜爱情-老主人

-A bound winged cupid sits on a large chariot inscribed in black Gothic lettering, Caritas (love or charity) and Cupido (Cupid or desire). The chariot is drawn by unicorns and followed by a crowd, possibly representing virtuous women from antiquity such as Dido and Lucretia. According to legend, unicorns could be trained only by a virgin, and such a maiden may have been shown leading the procession. The bottom piece of glass in the current panel with the unicorn bodies is a modern replacement.
