Abstract

The Charnel-house (means a house for the dead) commonly has the same architectural structure and shape to the dwelling house. However, it is difficult to find in Vietnam Central Highlands any other architecture that is comparable to that of the Charnel house in the field of sculpture and architectural art. Perhaps, in Central Highland the Charnel -house is the only architecture that combines many different branches of art: architecture, sculpture, drawing, plating, decorative art… Depending on the character and the shape of the tombs-house, the artistic character of the architecture, sculpture or decorations make it more or less evident.
