hollowed
Made concave inside
Hollowed describes something that has had its interior removed, leaving a cavity or shell: a hollowed log, hollowed-out pumpkins for Halloween.
The word emphasizes the result of the action—what remains after material has been carved, scooped, or worn away.
Figuratively, hollowed can describe something drained of substance or vitality: His hollowed cheeks showed the toll of illness.
