1. shadow box

   A shadow box is a type of enclosed display case typically made from a deep picture frame and usually with a glass front, in which objects or collections of objects can be displayed and preserved. These objects often carry sentimental value or share a specific theme. The depth of the case allows for three-dimensional items to be showcased, creating a 'shadow' effect, thus the name 'shadow box’. This term can also refer to a form of exercise or training method used primarily in the field of boxing, where movements are performed against an imaginary opponent or shadow, hence the term 'shadow boxing'.
