39"w x 27"h #6 cut, reclaimed wool on burlap This rug was inspired by a vintage cracker box. It's not certain that all these animals ever appeared in a circus, but they made good subjects to hook into a rug recalling a childhood memory of simple, savory crackers. The stylized circus wagon features heavy wagon wheels and a scalloped design in the border reminiscent of century-old wagons.  Hooked in 2008.  Howeer, in 2018, Nabisco announced a design change in the way animals are depicted on the cracker box. The 1923 design of animals behind bars in a circus wagon was abandoned and redesigned. The images on the boxes are now of free-range animals in a savannah.
