Bau stone mausoleum

Bau stone mausoleum is located in Cam Bao village, Xuan Cam commune, Hiep Hoa district. This place keeps the body of Duke Ngo Dinh Hoanh - a military mandarin during the Le Dynasty (Le Than Tong - Le Duy Ky). According to Mr. Ngo Dinh Quyet, the 13th generation descendant of Duke Ngo Dinh Hoanh, due to careful care by the family, the Duke's mausoleum is still preserved quite intact. Bau Da Mausoleum was built in the southwest direction, the space in front is created in harmony with the beautiful, peaceful natural landscape with ancient trees reflecting on the large, clear blue lake. In front of the mausoleum gate are two pairs of large stone dogs sitting in adoration, with musical bells around their necks, in a comfortable but steady position. The entire surrounding wall, mausoleum gate and mausoleum are built of ancient laterite. The mausoleum gate consists of 2 floors, below is a rolling arch made of large laterite slabs. Next to the mausoleum gate, there are 2 statues of warriors, standing solemnly, wearing armor, wearing boots, holding a dragon sword. Through the mausoleum gate, along the Shinto path, there are pairs of human and elephant statues standing majestically on both sides. The pair of elephants are meticulously carved in a kneeling position. Besides, the pair of stone war horses are also meticulously carved with strong and beautiful physiques. The statue of the warrior guarding the tomb is also carved with solemnity and respect, with a long 2-layer armor plate, holding a mace... In the same mausoleum is the tomb of Duke Ngo Dinh Hoanh, built of large blocks of laterite. It can be said that all mascots arranged in Bau stone mausoleum exude majesty and grandeur, showing the sophistication of the owner, who is very careful about artistic style. At the same time, it reflects the ancient Asian concept that life in this world is only temporary and death is return to eternity. SOURCE: Bac Giang Newspaper
