What is "high relief"?
High relief is a sculptural technique where the design or image is carved deeply into a surface, with parts of the sculpture standing out prominently from the background. The figures or patterns are raised significantly, creating a strong three-dimensional effect. This technique is used to achieve more dramatic and detailed representations in art and architectural decorations.
