CAMBODIA
Stone art carving has flourished for thousands of
years in Cambodia. From small statutes to the
breath-taking carvings found at Angkor Wat, this
art medium has become one of the country’s most
cherished art forms. Stone carving has been both
a passion and a livelihood for many Cambodian
sculptors.

Stone Carving

THAILAND
Thailand is world-famous for its sculpture that dates
back 4,000 years. The most commonly materials are
wood, stone, ivory, clay, and various metals. Most
notable sculptures are the Thai bronzes famous for their
originality and grace. Famous sculpture in Wat Pho in
Bangkok is 46 meters long and 15 meters high. It is
made of plaster in a brick core and finished in gold leaf.
The feet are inlaid with mother or pearl.

LAOS
If Cambodia has stone carvings, Lao artisans use a
variety of media in their sculpture creations.
Typically, the precious metals such as bronze,
silver, and gold are used. The most famous statue
made of gold is the Phra Say of the sixteenth
century, which the Siamese carried home as loot in
the late eighteenth century. Another famous
sculpture in Laos is the Phra Bang which is also
cast in gold.
Unfortunately, its craftsmanship is said to be of
Sinhalese origin, rather than Lao. It is traditionally
believed that relics of the Buddha are contained
in the image. Phra Say

VIETNAM
Vietnamese sculpture has been heavily influenced by
the three traditional regions: Taoism, Confucianism,
and Buddhism, which come from neighboring
countries, China, and India. Among the famous
sculptures are the 10,000-year-old carvings which can
be seen on the Dong Noi cave. The Dong Son culture
is famous for its kettledrums, small carving, and home
utensils which have handles sculpted in the shape of
men, elephants, toads, and tortoises.

INDONESIA
Indonesia is known for its stone, bronze, and iron-
age arts.Its sculptures can be found in numerous
archaeological sites in Sumatra, Java to Sulawesi.
The native Indonesian tribes usually create
sculptures that depict ancestors, deities, and
animals. This is evident in the pre-HinduBuddhist
and pre-Islamic sculptures from tribes. The most
amazing sculptures are the Asmat wooden sculpture
of Papua, the Dayak wooden mask and sculpture,
the ancestral wooden statue of Toraja, and the
totem-like sculpture of Batak and Nias tribes.
MALAYSIA
Most of Malaysia’s sculptures are relief. These are
partially carved into or out of another surface. These
sculptures rely on a base or plane to support them
and are a combination of both three-dimensional
and twodimensional art forms. This is very popular
along walls and stone columns of the ancient Greek
and Roman buildings. Relief sculpture is practiced
today by artist and architects, done with stone,
marble, bronze, and many other substances.
Three main types of relief sculptures:
Porta de Santiago Bas-Relief

1. Alto form – almost completely carved from its surface, highly shaped, with very little
of the structure touching the base or plane.
2. Bas form – relief that barely extends past the base.
3. Sunken relief sculpture – an image that is carved into the surface rather than out.

Malay woodcarving is from Terengganu and Kelantan, it is passed down from one generation to
another. Two kinds of carving; ukiran halus (fine carving) and ukiran kasar (rough carving).
Cengal is the preferred wood for building houses and boats.
SINGAPORE
The Sri Mariammam Hindu temple with sculptures of
different images is almost as old as Singapore itself.
This was constructed and dedicated to the goddess
Marimman who is worshiped for her power to cure
disease. Its most interesting feature is its impressive
gopuram (tower) over the main entrance, which is
decorated with numerous Hindu deities. The Merlion
is also partly inspired by the story of how Singapore
got its name or “The Singapura Story.”

Activity 3

Instructions: ART TIME! Merlion Statue Model

Materials:

 soap
 knife
 cutter
 pencil
 old newspaper/cardboard

Procedure

1. Choose a bar of soap. Any soap

will work; however, a larger bar is easier
to hold and gives more material to work

4
 with. Make sure you have a well-covered area to do your soap carving on.
2. Choose a knife to use. Soap is fairly soap, so a sharp knife is not necessary.
Plastic knives, spoons, or popsicle sticks would also work.
3. Draw an outline of your carving on one side of the soap. You can either draw the
outline first using a pencil, or directly use a knife, orange wood stick, or toothpick to
scrape the outline into the soap.
4. Remove the soap outside the outline using small silvers or chips. make sure to
scrape away only small portions at a time, as it would be easier to remove than to put
back an over scraped portion. Cutting off too much would cause the soap to break off
into chunks.
5. Add details to the inside of your outline to refine the design further. When the
carving is finished, wet your finger, and rub the surface of the soap to create a smooth
finish. Allow it to dry and harden for a day
