(at around 54 mins) When searching for sculpture associated with air in St. Peter's Square, Langdon spotted the West Ponente marker on the ground and said that it could be considered a sculpture since it is a bas-relief. A bas-relief is a relief where the image is projecting out from a flat surface. The image of West Ponente marker is not projecting out, rather it was carved into a flat surface. The correct term for this type of sculpture is sunken-relief or intaglio.
