Wood Carving with a Master Craftsman

Wood Carving is an art that has been practiced all over the world but very avidly in SouthEast Asia where great pieces of woodwork are crafted through out the ages to honour religion in this part of the world. Siem Reap is a centre of arts for many years as the centre of the Angkor Empire, and sculptures of apsara, angkor tales and other stories are regularly made to adorn the royal compounds. Today, these very same sculptures are made by craftsmen and placed in hotels everywhere in Siem Reap.
