Ha Tay (VNA) – A collection of 120 valuable Buddhist antiques are on display in northern Ha Tay province from July 17-30. Many of the items are considered national treasures, such as a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva that is available for public viewing for the first time. Made of elephant’s tusks, the statue dates back to the 18th-19th centuries. Another treasure is a Thanh Mai bronze bell that is believed to be made in 798, making it the oldest in Vietnam.
