A carving is a form of visual art created by removing material from a solid substance such as wood, stone, or ivory to create an image or design. It often serves decorative, ceremonial, or functional purposes.

Carving derives from Old French 'carver', meaning to cut or sculpt.

Carving is like sculpting, but instead of adding material, you carefully remove pieces to create a shape, like when someone whittles wood.
