English term or phrase: bas-relief

Definition from About.com:
Bas-relief sculpture is stone sculpture made by chipping away at a slab of rock to make a picture that stands out. It is also called low relief sculpture (bas being the French for 'low') and is contrasted with high relief sculpture where the image stands out further from the surface. The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and many others have used bas-relief.

Example sentence(s):

Great importance is attached to outer and inner dressing of artistic expressive means, bass-relief picturing Maecenas having contributed to the construction, the life-trees, angels, apostles, Christ and St. Astvadsasin become the inseparable part of those complexes, interwoven with architectural patterns and devices. armenians.com
There is a famous mosaic in Urhoy, which depicts a royal banquet dated 278 A.D. The similarities between it and the earlier Assyrian bass relief of the victory banquet in the palace of the King Ashurbanipal 668-630 B.C. in Nineveh are striking, which proves that the art and traditions in Urhoy were the continuity of the ancient Assyrian ones. cavemanart.com

plitki reljef

Definition from wikipedia:
Niski (plitki) reljef je za razliku od visokog ispunjen manjim izbočenjima, iako se i tu javlja igra sa svjetlom i sjenom. Zbog sjena stvorenih razlikama u visini pojedinog dijela reljefa dolazi do izgleda plastičnosti reljefa.

Example sentence(s):

Nad vratima je fragment gradskog zida, na kamenoj ploči iznad vratiju plitki reljef s minijaturnim lavom Sv. Marka (simbol Mletačke Republike). Plitki reljef u obliku štita s floralnim motivom predstavlja lava Sv. Marka s knjigom (atribut evanđeliste Marka), uzdignutih krila i podvinuta repa. - internetska stranica o Vrsaru, Istra
Oblikovno i tehnološki štukatura je vrlo vješto izvedena: razigrani plitki reljef izveden žbukom u dva sloja , grubljem i finijem, prevučen je kredno-tutkalnom preparacijom, a potom pozlaćen zlatnim listićima na polimentnoj podlozi. - Hrvatski restauratorski zavod
Ploča oltarne pregrade iz Sv. Nedjeljice u Zadru (detalj) s prizorima Herodov pokolj nevine djece, bijeg u Egipat i Sv. Ivan Krstitelj, kraj XI st., Arheološki muzej, Zadar. Tradicionalni antički tip arkadnog sarkofaga prerađen je u plitki reljef linearne stilizacije predromanike, tako da je nekadašnja arhitektonska pozadina postala ornamentalni okvir. - web centar hrv. kulture, Minist. kulture
