Bronzes by Nguyen Thanh Le (1919-2006), whose Shop was on Thu do Street in Saigon, have had widely mixed auction results during the last couple of decades, ranging from more than $1000 to less than $100. However, last year one sold for $1600 here in the USA, so there appear still to be interested buyers out there.

Pasted below are the better figures found. Also included are links to other forum threads with comments and pictures. You might wish to sign up (it's free) at liveauctioneers.com, where you can find other sale prices in the archive of results.
