Traditional wood carving techniques

🎧  Listen to Introduction

Tibetan woodcarvings are mainly based on the expression of Buddhist culture. The Buddha statues in woodcarvings are beautifully shaped, rigorously structured, smooth in lines, and both rigid and flexible. Carving craftsmen not only need to reflect the solemn beauty of the Buddha statues, but also strictly follow the statue-making rules to make them properly proportioned. This major feature of Tibetan woodcarvings not only does not weaken the effect of decorative art, but promotes the sublimation of art. Tibetan woodcarving art has a profound cultural background and national characteristics, and is a wonderful flower in the field of Tibetan carving art. It has both a strong decorative interest and considerable ornamental value and artistic charm. It is an art that can revive wood. The traditional family-inherited woodcarving skills of Zeku inherit and carry forward the traditional national handicrafts. It mainly uses agarwood and sandalwood materials, and uses carving and polishing techniques to make various Buddhist supplies and daily crafts such as Buddhist beads, pagodas, vajra prongs, shaking drums, drums, baby amulets, divination dice, and lucky arrows.
