embossments
Surfaces with bumps
Embossments are raised designs or patterns on a surface, created by pressing or stamping from behind.
The term applies to decorative relief work on metal, leather, paper, or other materials: The embossments on the leather binding gave it an antique look.
In technical contexts, embossments may refer to any raised features, whether decorative or functional.
