Double-sided printed silk scarf with the Female General Bui Thi Xuan pattern (Size 70*70cm : 749,000vnd)

In the martial land of Binh Dinh, the story of Bui Thi Xuan is still passed down as a special mark of history. From a girl passionate about martial arts, she became a famous female general of the Tay Son Movement, associated with the anecdote of fighting a tiger to save Tran Quang Dieu and her talent in taming war elephants. During the years of war, she appeared as a steadfast woman 
strong, with will and loyalty to the country.

The female general's figure is placed between two symbols of strength in the mountains and forests: the fierce tiger and the white elephant. The space of the old forest and the imperial citadel appears through stylized war jacket motifs, interwoven into layers of images recalling the memorable war journey. Classic muted shades create a feeling of solidity and calm, while harmonious transitions of color help highlight the central figure. The brushstrokes remind of Dong Ho paintings, creating a balance between strength and softness, thereby clearly reflecting the temperament where softness has toughness, and toughness has softness. The work thus becomes a succinct account of a resilient female general, a symbol of timeless bravery and mettle.
