The seal in progress VietNamNet Bridge – A gilded seal engraved with the letters Hoang de chi bao (emperor’s precious object) will be shown for the first time during the Imperial Night held at the end of this month. This seal, which is being completed, is part of the Hue Imperial City Vestiges Preservation Centre’s efforts to restore as much of the original Hue Court as possible. The installation work was designed by Phun Phu and Hai Trung from the centre and named Tu tru trieu dinh (four pillars of the court). The seal will sit on four pillars, each of which is 4 m in height and 60 cm across, in the Dai Cung Mon area in the Hue Court. The pillars are hollow inside and will be installed with light systems to give the seal luster and colors at night. (Source: Viet Nam Net )
