Unique woodcarving art of ethnic people in Central Highlands

By rudimentary tools, including saws, axes, machetes, knives and chisels, artisans could turn inanimate wooden logs into lively sculptures.

Sculptures, reflecting the daily activities of ethnic minority people in the region, such as woman pounding rice, weaving and carrying her baby, men hunting, elderly people playing musical instruments and drinking, animals and farming tools, are attractive to both local people and tourists.

Woodcarving has been carefully preserved by people in the Central Highlands, contributing to enriching the Cultural Space of Gong of the Central Highlands.

Below are some photos reflecting the unique woodcarving art of ethnic minority people in the Central Highlands.
