shadowbox
A shadowbox is a type of enclosed display case often with a transparent glass front, used for displaying and preserving objects such as memorabilia, heirlooms, photographs, artworks, or other small items. These objects are intended to be viewed in a three-dimensional and often thematic display. The term "shadowbox" originates from the way this display case presents a sort of "shadow" effect with objects inside due to its depth. It is also a term used in the visual arts to refer to a technique creating an illusion of depth. Furthermore, it can refer to a form of military training or exercise in boxing where movements are performed against the air.
