lamest dictionary definition ever


Recommended Posts

  • Hash Fellow

William was describing the nature of the wall decorations in the underground lair and i said, "Ah, that is known as 'bas-relief'" and said he might look that up for examples.

Then i got to wondering what the official definition of "bas-relief" was and got this on the web:

bas-re·lief

bä rəˈlēf,bas/

noun Sculpture

- a sculpture, carving, or molding in bas-relief.


That clears that up! :facepalm:

My definition: sculpture in which the objects are mostly fully 3-dimensionally formed but are not free-standing. They are substantially attached to the wall behind them.
