VN's biggest conicla hat made of more than 960 palm leaves by 11 artisans in 40 days is now displayed at Non La Restaurant in HCMC, Photo: Tuoi Tre

Made of more than 960 palm leaves layered together on a bamboo frame, the 1.6m tall hat with a diameter of 2.74m, took 40 days of hard work by the artisan Thai Do and his 10 partners in the central city of Hue to finish.

The artisans also embedded poems and images featuring the beauty of the ancient city of Hue like the Huong River, Thien Mu Pagoda and Truong Tien Bridge, between the layers of the leaves. The decorations are revealed when the hat is placed under a light.

The hat is now displayed at Non La Restaurant at 19 Ngueyn Dinh Chieu Street in District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City.

Below are some photos of the hat:
