Gold-plated snake mascot worth tens of millions of dong to welcome Tet

A golden snake spitting out money, a snake rolling up a five-blessing gold bar, a yellow apricot tree, a pink gold peach tree... are unique gold-plated products crafted by a business to welcome the Lunar New Year.

A business specializing in gold-plated Tet gifts in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City is rushing to prepare orders for customers. According to the branch director, many unique gift items have been sought out and ordered early by businesses and consumers, especially snake mascot models... 20 snake mascot models were launched on the market for Tet 2025 with many different sizes, all made of solid copper, plated with 24K gold. The unique finished products here include a 38cm tall snake (priced at 18 million VND) and the smallest statue is 15cm tall, priced at 7 million VND. According to Mr. Dinh Quang Thang, the product models are meticulously designed and crafted. Most of the models of the year of At Ty use the image of a cobra, representing bravery and power. The models of golden snake spitting out money, snake rolling gold bars of five blessings, along with many symbols of Ruyi scepter, money bag... to bring luck and fortune in the new year are of interest to many customers. In Eastern culture, snakes are symbols of luck, fortune and wisdom, and represent rebirth, transformation and growth. The intricate carvings make the product stand out. According to Mr. Thang, if not counting the design idea stage, from the creation to completion, there are about 40 stages of creating wax models, molding and casting, cooling and surface treatment, gold plating, drying... "Every stage requires experience and care because if you make just one wrong step, you can have to start over. The most difficult thing about casting snake statues is how to bring out the liveliness and soul of the statue while still remaining close," said Mr. Thang. For each snake model, this business produces 3,000 products to serve the needs of customers during Tet 2025. In particular, this enterprise also produces two unique models of five-blessing yellow apricot and five-blessing yellow peach with the desire to create a unique symbol for the occasion of Tet At Ty.
