A ''dead box'' is designed to completely and utterly foil any means, both magical or natural, of detecting the presence of any magical aura, residual dweomor, alignment, or heat from outside the ''box''. To function properly, a dead box must be "airtight".

A Dead box is a magical item from the Spelljammer campaign setting.[1]
Description
A dead box is a stone container made of solid slabs of athar-stone, sealed with natural rubber mixed with gorgon's blood. Athar-stone is a naturally occurring rock found on many asteroids and in mountain ranges on a few planets. A dead box may be of any size, from a small room to a tiny coffer, but will be very heavy: athar-stone is both heavier and far more durable than lead.
