Carved Sculpture

Cambodian traditional carved sculpture is a testament to the country’s rich artistic heritage, dating back to the Khmer Empire (9th–15th centuries). Skilled artisans use materials like sandstone, wood, and bronze to create intricate statues of Hindu and Buddhist deities, such as Vishnu, Shiva, and the Buddha, as well as mythological figures like Apsaras (celestial dancers).

The sculptures are renowned for their graceful poses, detailed ornamentation, and spiritual symbolism. Techniques have been passed down through generations, preserving the artistry seen in iconic sites like Angkor Wat and the National Museum of Cambodia.

Recognized globally for their beauty and craftsmanship, these sculptures reflect Cambodia’s deep connection to religion, history, and culture.
