It refers to sculpture where figures project only slightly from a background, creating a subtle, three-dimensional effect. It is essentially the same as 'bas relief' and 'low relief.' Think of it as a barely-there sculpture, like a coin design.
This spelling variation still derives from the Italian words 'basso' (low) and 'rilievo' (relief). The slight spelling difference doesn't change the meaning or origin of the term. It reflects variations in Italian spelling conventions and the adoption of the term into other languages.
