fortement ciselé
Après une petite recherche google :
-Pour la pierre, ça a l'air d'être "ciselé.
-En ce qui concerne le métal, il semble que le terme correct pour "embossed" soit "repoussé"
(voir http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embossing)
Voir la ref ci dessous..

fortement gaufrés
Le terme technique en imprimerie est "gaufrage" (par définition, en profondeur). Si c'est bien ce dont parle le reste de la phrase.

: That would certainly apply to embossed paper stock; but this appears to be referring to actual aprts of the printed image, and 'gaufré' sounds odd to me for that...?

Lithography (from Greek λίθος - lithos, "stone" + γράφω - graphο, "to write") is a method for printing using a plate or stone with a completely smooth surface. By contrast, in INTAGLIO printing a plate is engraved, etched or STIPPLED to make cavities to contain the printing ink. - Wiki
