Cambodia is
widely
recognized as
being associated
with beautiful
carvings though
many of the
artisans were
executed during
the Pol Pot
regime. Cambodia
is home to some
of the most
exquisite
religious
sculptures in
the world, many
of which command
extraordinary
prices on the
world market.
Woven silk
products are
highly popular
as are basketry,
gold and
silverware, and
all kinds of
jewelry made
from precious
stones including
the famous
Pailin rubies.
Also to be found
are traditional
musical
instruments,
paintings and
ornate stone
rubbings taken
from the
temples.
