This Military Shadow Box Example 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain was constructed after a deployment. The shadow box contains the ISAF Sleeve Patch, 10th Mountain Division Patch, Afghanistan Commando Special Forces patch, 1st Infantry Patch, rank insignia, Afghanistan and American flag patches, and a combat knife. The objects were secured using conservation / archival framing techniques. All objects, except the knife, were top mounted onto a single acid-free suede mat. The knife was mounted using black mylar that made it invisible against the black suede mat. The depth of the shadow box frame is about 1.5″. This depth was required to secure the knife and prevent it from hitting the glass. A satin gold custom nameplate is centered on the bottom row of objects.
