Ô ăn quan | Vietnamese Mancala

This handcrafted play-and-display set is inspired by traditional Vietnamese folk rituals, court scenes, and festival processions often depicted in heritage art and temple decorations. Designed as both a play experience and a cultural storytelling piece, the set invites children and adults alike to step into a miniature world of Vietnamese tradition.

Each element reflects symbolic roles found in folk performances — ceremonial figures, attendants, offerings, and decorative motifs — reimagined through vibrant colours and contemporary illustration while staying true to traditional aesthetics.
