What term describes ornamentation with raised work on a surface?

• A. Direct Lighting
• B. Fiberglass
• C. Embossed
• D. Dome

Answer: (C)

Raised ornamentation on a surface is described by the term embossed. Embossing creates a relief where the design stands out above the background, typically produced by pressing, stamping, or carving so the pattern projects outward. This is why the term fits ornamentation with raised work. In contrast, direct lighting refers to how light interacts with a surface, fiberglass is simply a material, and a dome describes a rounded shape rather than a technique for decorative relief. Embossed work clearly communicates that the decoration rises above the base surface, giving it a raised, textured appearance.
