    A row of identical wooden shadow box frames is displayed on a table, each containing what appears to be military medals or awards with red and gold/yellow ribbon chevrons. The frames are arranged in a diagonal line receding into the background, with depth of field causing the foreground frames to be sharp and background frames to blur. Each frame contains a dark background mat, a folded ribbon in Marine Corps colors (scarlet and gold), a medal, and what appears to be a printed citation or certificate.
