CSS clip Property
The clip property allows a rectangle to clip a positioned element. The rectangle is specified as four coordinates: top, right, bottom, left. The values of top and bottom specify offsets from the inside top border edge of the box, while the values of right and left specify offsets from the inside left border edge of the box. All four sides may be either a length or auto. "Auto" is the default value.
The clip property does not work if the value of the overflow property is set to visible.
If possible the newer clip-path property can be used instead because the clip property is deprecated.
