| About Vietnam >> Vietnam's Fine Arts & Crafts :>> Fine Arts & Crafts - Sculpture Architecture and sculpture go hand in hand in Vietnam; once the Vietnamese buildings were in place, the sculptor went to work decorating columns, pillars, beams, and panels. Foreign influence is also felt in this field. The most important of these outside influences in sculpture is that of the Chinese. As with the Chinese, Vietnamese sculpture often centers on statues in pagodas and other objects used in worship at home and other religious places. They show a preference for the four fabulous animals and the four seasons, just as the Chinese do. Some evidence of Cham sculpture can still be seen in Vietnam. It is often typified by status of women having wings and large breasts, quite different from Vietnamese sculpture.
