More than 80 precious items carved with dragons and phoenixes are on display in the former imperial capital city of Hue to celebrate 25 years since UNESCO awarded the title of World Heritage Site to the complex of monuments in the city. The displayed items were used in dressing, daily use and administration by kings and other royal members. They are made of rare, precious materials including gold, silver and precious stones. Every item in the exhibition is engraved with symbols of dragons or phoenixes, using techniques of carving or embossment. The exhibition is taking place at the royal antiquities museum at 3 Le Truc Street in Hue, starting on September 14 and ending on December 5. VNA Photo: Quốc Việt
