Which languages have an interesting word for ‘sculpture’?

Which languages have an interesting word for ‘sculpture’?

I’m Cymraeg (Welsh) it breaks down as ‘sculpted - picture’ Cerfio(to sculpt) + llun (picture) = Cerflun (sculpture) Do any other languages have a new or similar angle on this word?

Or for the word ‘sincere’ meaning ‘without wax’ in Greek from the days where people would hide cracks in sculptures with wax.

Please share your thoughts!
