bas-relief

The sarcophagus of Junius Bassus exhibits a bas relief of Job comforted by his friends.

In the accompanying engraving, from a mutilated bas-relief in the Lateran Museum, this scene is exhibited.

The pedestal of this clock represented in bas-relief the birth of astronomy on the Egyptian plains.

The principal bas-relief is a huge square panel, graven on the face of a rock bastion which immediately overhangs the stream.

Here a sort of panel, cut square, and covered with round embossments in various positions, simulated a vague bas-relief.
