Relief

Sculptural technique of embossed depth

Relief is a sculptural method in which the sculpted pieces remain attached to a solid background of the same material. The term relief is from the Latin verb relevare, to raise (lit. 'to lift back'). To create a sculpture in relief (also known as a relief sculpture) is to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane.
