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
  • On the Mexican feroher before alluded to, and which is most elaborately carved in bass-relief on a massive piece of polygonous granite, constituting a portion of a cyclopean wall, the cross is enclosed within the ring, and accompanying it are four tassel-like ornaments, graved equally well. fullbooks.com

bareljef


Definition from Veliki rečnik stranih reči i izraza:
Bareljef je vajarski rad na ravnoj površini sa slabije izraženim ispupčenjima.

Example sentence(s):
  • A neuporedivo više razmišljanja od onog koji zahteva skulptura, više duhovnog napora koji se po obimu približava slici, pruža bareljef, zbog činjenice da se mora služiti perspektivom. Tako se bareljef po svom dostojanstvu približava slikarstvu u Leonardovom hijerarhijskom sistemu umetnosti. - Likovni život, br. 115/116, god XIX  
  • Na najvišoj koti spomenika, u samom vrhu spomen-kule, nalazi se bareljef na kome je likovno prikazan i dat detaljan opis bitke. - NSPM  
  • Mermerne korice predstavljaju reprodukciju ručno vajanog bareljefa "Bogorodica na stepeništu", prvog dela koje je Mikelanđelo izradio kada je imao 15 godina, i od kog se nikada nije odvajao. - Asocijacija autentičnih hedonista
