The Nhàn Ngưu is a contemplative work of art by artist Lê Huy, embodying serenity and cultural depth.This sculpture features a diminutive buffalo, reminiscent of a jackfruit seed, peacefully resting atop a stylized buffalo bell (mõ trâu) that evokes the curved roof of a traditional Vietnamese communal house (đình làng).The design symbolizes harmony between nature and community, reflecting the agrarian heritage of Vietnam.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the sculpture incorporates intricate floral motifs inspired by the hoa cúc dây patterns found on the pedestal of the ancient A-di-đà statue at Phật Tích Pagoda.These patterns represent the cyclical nature of life and the continuous flow of energy (luân hồi).The presence of tiny human figures amidst the floral designs alludes to ancestral spirits returning during festive times to bless their descendants.
