high relief
High relief refers to a type of sculpture technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background and project out of the surface to at least half their depth, giving an almost three-dimensional effect. This technique is often used to create strong shadows and a more dramatic impact. It contrasts with low relief (also known as bas-relief), where the projection from the surrounding surface is slight, and with intaglio, where the image is carved into the surface rather than being raised above it.
