What is Relief Sculpture?

RELIEF SCULPTURES are sculptures that rely on a base or plane to

support them.

Main Types of Relief Sculpture

1. Alto Form – almost completely carved

from its surface -- highly shaped with very little

of the structure touching the base or plane

-- could possibly stand alone -- common among Greeks and

Romans

2. Bas Form -- a relief that barely extends past the

base -- common as wall decorations on

Greek or Roman buildings

3. Sunken relief Sculpture -- an image that is carved into

the surface, rather than out of it.

O The best Malay wood Carving is from Terengganu and Kelatan.

O Passed down from one generation to another, the craft is divided into:

1. Ukiranhalus (fane carving) – Involves carving of relief patterns, hilts of keris, bed heads and cupboard tops.

2. Ukirankasar (literally meaning “ rough carving”) – refers on carving to larger objects like furniture, pillars, windows, room portions, and eaves of roots.O Cengal is the preferred wood for building

houses and boats.
