The statue stands in the enclosed atrium of the Ho Chi Minh court building. I am not entirely sure if the court building is in use, it looks semi-abandoned, but there are signs of life. Possibly, it will be refurbished and return to its intended use. I certainly hope so, it is one of the grand buildings of the city.
The statue of Union is depicted in a classical fashion, as a bare breasted women, in long robes, a wreath, a small cornucopia, and a shield. I am unaware of the history of the concept of Union, but it is an outstanding statue. She stands at the base of an impressive stair case. Entry to the building is unrestricted (a few sleeping guards). The atrium is very dark, hence the photos are not the best.
