escultura
sculpture
noun ehs-kool-TOO-rah Rare
Origin: From Latin sculptura, from sculpere ('to carve').
Usage Note
Escultura refers both to the art form and to an individual sculptural work. The artist is el/la escultor/escultora. Do not confuse escultura with escritura ('writing, handwriting'), which differs only by the middle consonant cluster — a common slip for learners.

"La escultura de bronce está en el parque central."
Natural Translation
The bronze sculpture is in the central park.
