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

Yes  Silvia Rina: A tradução confere. Contudo, é necessário ressaltar que a explicação encontra-se incompleta, uma vez que "high relief" (alto relevo) também se refere a uma técnica de se esculpir em pedra. Assim, considero a definição do colega 'ppombal' mais acurada.

Baixo-relevo


Definition from Wikipedia:
Baixo-relevo
Baixo relevo é uma forma escultórica utilizada na decoração de vários .
Os termos baixo-relevo e alto-relevo suscitam algumas dúvidas. A sua diferenciação não tem a ver necessariamente com a profundidade da peça, mas sim com as suas características volumétricas. Um baixo-relevo é um relevo cujas formas não ultrapassam os limites da visão frontal e, como tal, torna possível sua reprodução com um molde rígido. No baixo-relevo, a terceira dimensão é simulada de uma forma semelhante ao que acontece num desenho.

Example sentence(s):
  • O altar de Pérgamo, actualmente em Berlim, apresenta um friso onde a batalha dos Titãs contra os deuses é contada através do que resta do baixo relevo original - wikipedia  

Explanation:
A relief is a sculptured artwork where a modelled form is raised, or in sunken-relief lowered, from a flatish background from which the main elements of the composition project (or sink). Reliefs are common throughout the world, for example on the walls of monumental buildings. The frieze in the classical Corinthian order is often enriched with bas-relief (low relief). Alto-relievo (high-relief) may be seen in the pediments of classical temples, e.g., the Parthenon. Several panels or sections of relief together may represent a sequence of scenes.

Yes  csoares: No baixo-relevo a altura dos elementos esculpidos não ultrapassa o nível da superfície original do material onde o trabalho foi esculpido. No alto-relevo os elementos decorativos ficam salientes da superfície do material trabalhado.
