What is a Bas Relief?
• Bas Relief: a low, shallow relief where the plane is barely more scratched to remove the background material.

Mayan Reliefs
• Mayan relief sculpture is said to be some of the most sophisticated figure sculpture in the ancient “new” world…– Mayan art is the reason this era in Art History is
referred to as the Classical era…because the figures were as sophisticated as those from the classical era in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome!
