The statue of buffaloes

The statue of buffaloes is a plaster bas-relief work, which was completed in 1930 by the Taiwanese sculptor Huang Tu-shui during the Japanese rule. It is regarded as an important work in the history of Taiwanese art by art history researchers such as Hsiao Chong-ray and Yen Chuan-ying (1)(2). The original work is currently archived in Zhongshan Hall, Taipei. On March 2, 2009, the Council for Cultural Affairs (now the Ministry of Culture) announced that this statue was registered as a national treasure; it is also the first work of the 20th century on the current National Treasure List.[1]
