彫刻 (ちょうこく) uses both characters with their On'yomi. 彫 (チョウ) means 'carve' or 'engrave,' and 刻 (コク) also means 'carve' or 'engrave.' Readings like ほりもの (Kun'yomi for a similar concept) or とうこく are incorrect. It refers to 'sculpture or carving,' the art of creating three-dimensional forms from materials.
彫刻(ちょうこく)は両方とも音読みです。彫(チョウ)は「彫る」、刻(コク)も「刻む」を意味します。ほりものや、とうこくは誤り。木や石などを「彫って立体的な像を作る芸術」です。
