Acrylic award in shadowbox

[CAframer]

I am building a large shadowbox. One of many items to be included is an acrylic award. This object is fairly heavy, about 6" diameter set on an acrylic base which is about 5"x2"x1". I would appreciate any suggestions as to the best way to mount this object in the shadowbox.

One concern I have is that any glue on the bottom of the base will be visible through the base as it is made of clear acrylic.

In terms of placement, I guess the award could either stand on the bottom of the shadowbox, or on some kind of shelf. Suggestions in this regard also appreciated.

Have you thought about sinking it partially in a sink mat? OR how about some straps made from Mylar strips?

...Just thinking out load here.
