haut-relief

The entire haut-relief was installed on the west wall of the Chamber in 1985.

The Angkorian Khmer preferred to work in bas-relief, while their neighbors the Cham were partial to haut-relief.

Sculpture in bas-relief is distinguished from sculpture in haut-relief, in that the latter projects farther from the background, in some cases almost detaching itself from it.

This sculpture, known as a "haut-relief", graces the House of Commons Chamber and was designed by Eleanor Milne and carved by Maurice Joanisse.
