"Bas relief" or "low relief" is a sculptural technique in which figures or designs are slightly raised above a flat background, creating a shallow depth. The term comes from the Fr ench words "bas" meaning "low" and "relief" meaning "raised." In bas-relief, the depth of the carving is subtle, and the features do not project far from the surface, giving it a more flattened appearance compared to other types of relief sculpture like high relief.
