A special feature of ancient Egyptian art were the '''sunk reliefs''', where the image is made by cutting the figures itself into a flat surface. In a simpler form the images are usually mostly linear in nature, like hieroglyphs, but in most cases the figure itself is in ''low relief'', but set within a sunken area shaped round the image, so that the relief never rises beyond the original flat surface. They must not be confused with '''counter-reliefs''' in which the depicted figures were worked into the material in a completely negative manner as hollow forms.
