For other meanings, see Relief (disambiguation)''In the art of sculpture, a relief is an artwork where a modeled form projects out of a flat background. Tensed musculature itself may be seen to be in relief. Depending on the depth involved, it may be termed a ''bas relief'' ("low relief") – as seen in numismatics – or it may be a ''high relief'', with much undercutting, rendered almost in the round against its flat background. Hetaera, Relief, around 2nd century, Head is missing]]Reliefs are a common type of artwork found throughout the world, particularly to decorate monumental buildings, such as temples. The frieze in the classical Corinthian order is often enriched with bas-reliefs. High reliefs may been seen in the pediments of classical temples, e.g. the Parthenon. Reliefs can be used for a single scene, or ordered into a narrative. Famous examples of reliefs include:

Lions and dragons from the Ishtar Gate, Babylon
