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 sentences:

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.

Du bist schnell, Renate! @ Guro, das ist vielleicht eine Anlage zur Klageschrift, aber der Textbeginn dürfte eher aus dem Protokoll der Polizeistelle stammen ;-) Allen hier noch gemütliche Feiertage! Auch der dickste Sturm wird irgendwann vorbeisein.
Ja, Schtroumpf, das stimmt! Und vielen Dank, Renate!
das ist nicht die Klageschrift, sondern das Formular, das im Kommissariat aufgesetzt/ausgefüllt wird, wenn jemand Anzeige erstatten will.
