A nicho box, or simply ‘nicho’, is a three-dimensional or recessed display box, much in the spirit of a shadow box, used as a portable shrine to an important figure or loved one.  They originated as an adaptation of the Roman Catholic ‘retablo’, which is a painting of a patron saint on wood or tin. The key difference is that while retablos are flat, nichos are in the shape of boxes, can be fashioned out of boxes, and often also feature hinged doors, creating an accessible stage-like setting for a significant image.

These nicho boxes, handmade by Jack himself, celebrate Rock and Roll artists that are no longer with us physically, but their music will be with us forever.  No two of these nicho boxes are alike, and the details of the one you receive might vary from the one pictured.
