Vinh Lang stele, Archaeological stele at Lam Kinh, Vietnam.

The Vinh Lang stele measures 2.79 meters in height, 1.94 meters in width, and 27 centimeters in thickness, made from sedimentary rock.

Created in 1433 during the Thuan Thien reign, the stele documents the life and achievements of Emperor Le Loi, who led successful resistance against Ming Dynasty rule.

The rectangular monument features intricate carvings of nine dragons combined with chrysanthemum patterns, reflecting the artistic style of the Ly-Tran dynasty period.

Located 300 meters southwest of Emperor Le Loi's mausoleum, visitors can access the stele during regular hours at the Lam Kinh historical complex.

The stele's frontispiece displays a circle within a square, symbolizing the connection between sky and earth, with a dragon encircling the sun motif.
