According to Ms. Duyen, at the Non Nuoc – Ngu Hanh Son Stone Sculpture Museum, there are 250 statues and 73 works recognized as national relics. In particular, the stele of Mr. Huynh Ba Quat is the oldest, about 385 years old.
Mr. Huynh Ba Quat was the first person to establish the village and give birth to the stone carving profession.
In the early days, artisans only carved household items such as pestles, mortars, ship anchors, etc. Later, due to the needs of life and improved skills, artisans began to create elaborate, eye-catching works.
The statues are meticulously crafted by the "magical" hands of artisans.
