In architecture, a niche is a recess or cavity constructed in the thickness of a wall for the reception of decorative objects such as statues, busts, urns, and vases. In Classical architecture examples are an exedra or an apse that has been reduced in size, retaining the half-dome heading usual for an apse. In the first century B.C, there was no exact mention of niches, but rather a zotheca or small room. These rooms closely resemble alcoves similar to a niche but slightly larger. Different sizes and sculpture methods suggest the term niche was understood.
The word derives from the Latin nidus , via the French niche. The Italian nicchio / sea-shell may also be involved in the origin of the word, as the traditional decoration for the top of a niche is a scallop shell. A great gift idea
