Cambodian
Art
During
the Khmer Rouge rule, Cambodian culture was essentially destroyed, but the
traditional arts are now seeing a revival. Some of the traditional arts
being revived are those of textiles, silverwork, woodcarving, stone sculpture
and painting.
Cotton is used to weave krama, a rectangular scarf
with colorful checks and stripes and the sampot. Sampots are skirts
for women and those made with silk usually have colorful patterns with silk or
gold threads weaved throughout.
Metal work was revived in the early 20th
century by the French in Cambodia. Animal-shaped boxes that hold betel,
a stimulant and tonic, were popular items that silversmiths produced.
