The Huong Loc buffalo is the only statue depicting a reclining buffalo in this year's set, with a relaxed appearance after a year of hard work. Thinh Vuong is a buffalo with a healthy physique, carrying the message "strong and tough" in a four-legged standing posture, reaching forward with a bright smiling face. Nhu Y is a statue of a buffalo with a lovely smile, standing on two feet, holding a golden grain of rice, implying that fortune will come in the New Year. Hanh Phuc is a statue of a cheerful, innocent buffalo, smiling while giving good wishes to everyone.
