Relief

Forms that project from a background to which they remain attached. Relief may be carved or modeled shallowly, as in low or bas-relief, or deeply to produce high relief. Cameos are objects made in relief.

Reliefs can be devided into bas-relief (low-reliefs) and alto relievo (high-reliefs).
