"Unicorns on the Banks of the Indus, Hunted by Permission of the King" is a notable engraving that constitutes plate 29 from the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium," which translates to "Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish." This work was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566–1628), a prominent Flemish engraver of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Philip Galle) in Amsterdam.

The series, created by the Italian artist Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), is a collection of engravings that depict various hunting scenes from around the world. Stradano was known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations that often combined accurate observation with fantastical elements. "Unicorns on the Banks of the Indus" is a prime example of this, as it portrays the mythical creatures of unicorns being hunted, an activity that is rooted in fantasy rather than historical fact.

The scene is set along the Indus River, which flows through the contemporary regions of India and Pakistan. The engraving shows a group of hunters, presumably with the permission of a local king, engaging in the hunt of the mythical unicorns, suggesting a blend of Eastern and Western mythologies and the fascination with exotic creatures during the Renaissance period. The artwork reflects the European interest in the wider world that was prevalent during the Age of Discovery, as well as the blend of scientific curiosity and myth that characterized the era's approach to natural history.

The engraving is significant for its artistic merit, its reflection of the cultural and historical context of the time, and its place within the larger work of "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium," which is considered an important contribution to the genre of hunting scenes in art. The series as a whole offers insight into the Renaissance imagination and its interpretation of the natural world, as well as the period's attitudes toward exploration and the exotic.
