Signed Vietnamese Hand-Embroidered Textile Art – Water Buffalo Rice Harvest

An exceptional hand-embroidered textile artwork depicting a traditional rural rice-field scene with water buffalo and farmers wearing conical hats.

This large, highly detailed composition is created almost entirely through intricate embroidery, with individually worked stitches forming the buffalo, figures, water, harvested rice fields, grasses, and distant landscape. The artist uses changes in stitch direction, density, and thread color to create remarkable depth, texture, shading, and movement.

The two water buffalo are particularly impressive, with finely layered stitching defining their horns, faces, musculature, and coats. The surrounding landscape is equally elaborate, with thousands of fine stitches creating the golden fields, waterways, grasses, rice plants, and vegetation.

The work is professionally presented beneath glass with a deep green mat and an ornate gold-tone frame that complements the warm gold and green palette of the embroidery.

This is a substantial and visually striking example of Southeast Asian textile artistry and would make an outstanding focal piece for a curated art collection, traditional interior, or collector of Asian decorative arts.
