glass domes
Transparent protective covers
Glass domes are transparent enclosures, typically hemispherical, used to cover and protect objects while keeping them visible.
In decorative contexts, they display taxidermy, clocks, or curiosities.
Larger architectural glass domes cap conservatories, observatories, and atriums.
Figuratively, a glass dome suggests sheltered isolation from the outside world: She grew up under a glass dome, protected from life's harsh realities.
