Wooden sculpture that serves as an amulet by Nguyen Nhu Y, one of the works featured in his solo exhibition 'Naïve of Hanoi' in Salon Natasha, September 1998. According to Natasha Kraevskaia, the sculpture, rendered in a primitive style, was inspired by the tomb figures from the Tay Nguyen Plato ethnic groups in central Vietnam.

'Naïve of Hanoi' showcased paintings, drawings, and sculptures produced by Nguyen Nhu Y. According to Natasha Kraevskaia, the artist received training as a sculptor at Hanoi University of Fine Arts, but his arts often possessed qualities of naïve arts or outsider arts; the expressions pure and direct, delivering a hybrid of innocence and wisdom. Nhu Y also strived to convey in his works his romantic visions and personal fantasies.
This exhibition marked the beginning of the extensive collection of Nguyen Nhu Y's works by Salon Natasha.
