Khmer Art refers to the artistic traditions of the Khmer Empire, which flourished in Southeast Asia from the 9th to the 15th centuries. This art form is best known for its stunning temple architecture, particularly the magnificent Angkor Wat, which showcases intricate carvings and bas-reliefs depicting Hindu and Buddhist themes. In addition to architecture, Khmer Art includes sculpture, painting, and decorative arts. Statues of deities, such as Buddha and Shiva, are common, often made from stone or bronze. The vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Khmer people and their spiritual beliefs.
