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.

Els egipcis pintaven el baix relleu que a causa de la seva escassa profunditat sovint porta a confusió respecte a un o altre art. A partir de la dinastia III, la pintura sobre les parets de les tombes substitueix al baix relleu, del qual adopta les principals convencions. (Viquipèdia)
Baix relleu o baix relleu: les figures sobresurten del fons menys de la meitat; la tercera dimensió es comprimeix, quedant a escassa profunditat, com ocorre necessàriament en els treballs de numismàtica. Encara que no és usual, el baix relleu pot mostrar algunes parts destacades d'una figura, rostres i fins i tot alguns cossos, en relleu natural. (WikiLingue)
