What is an example of a bas-relief?
2 Answers

A famous example of a bas-relief are the Assyrian Lion Hunt reliefs which are housed in the British Museum. Bas-reliefs tend to have less protrusion than other types of relief carving. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bas-reliefs from some of the world’s top art dealers.
