Spanish term

caja de contención

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is from a text about a contemporary Argentine sculptor:

Los miembros están atados a una estructura angular que obra como caja de contención y aleja toda referencia de corruptiblidad, anticipatoria de la muerte. Sólo el color la anuncia. La figura torturada se hace intemporal. En diciembre de 1969, en Villa Giulia, JCD había hallado esa contención en el estudio del Sarcófago de los esposos etruscos.

The structure serves/acts such as a contention box. My best guess.
HIH!

'Retaining box or case' may be even better, depending on the subject and/or context.
