A vertical image captures a light-colored stone or plaster statue of Saint Simon the Apostle, situated within an ornate architectural niche, likely inside Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The statue depicts a standing, robed, bearded male figure holding a closed rectangular book in his left hand and a long saw, serrated on one edge, vertically in his right hand. The statue rests on a white, projecting, ornately carved ledge. The niche itself is a cream-colored, arched recess, flanked by two slender, cream-colored columns with white Corinthian-style capitals. Above the niche, a broad, white frieze features intricate relief carvings of scrolling acanthus leaves and small winged putti figures. Below the main ledge supporting the statue, additional white architectural elements display further decorative relief carvings. On both the left and right sides of the central niche, partial views of pointed Gothic-style windows with geometric quatrefoil and diamond tracery patterns are visible. A thin yellow cable or strap is discernable within the lower left portion of the left window. The entire structure is rendered in shades of off-white and cream, indicating either an interior setting or a well-maintained sheltered exterior.
